Welcome to the "How to share a contact from an Android Phone" video course. In this video, you'll learn how to share a contact from your Android phone to a friend's phone.
From the Apps screen, tap the Contacts icon to open the app. From your list of contacts, find the person whose details you want to share and tap on their name. Tap on the Share icon at the bottom of the contact card. From the pop up that appears, tap Text. The Share menu opens with different options for how to share the contact's details. You can scroll the row from right to left to see more options.
For this demonstration, we'll tap the Messages icon to share the details via text message or SMS. In the Messages app, you can select a recipient by tapping the magnifying glass icon to search your contact list or enter a new number. You can also scroll your contacts list and tap on the one you want to select it. Then, tap on the Next button. A message appears with the contact you want to share at the bottom and recipient's name at the top. To send the message, tap the blue arrow at the bottom.
