What is a Contact Poster?
Contact Poster is iOS 17’s fresh way to display your contacts on your iPhone. Think of it as your personalized digital calling card, with plenty of style options. Pick from Photos, Memojis, or Monograms.
How to Create a Contact Poster on iPhone
Setting up your Contacts Poster is very similar to customizing your iPhone’s lock screen. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Fire up the “Phone” app on your iPhone.
- A prompt will pop up asking if you wanna share your name and pic with your buddies. Hit “Continue” to set this up.
- To set it up later, click on the “Contacts menu” button at the bottom-center of the screen in the Phone app.
- Go for the “My Card” option.
- Tap the “Contact Photo & Poster” option and Select “Edit.”
- Now you can personalize your Contact Poster. You can change your name display and choose a style: Photo, Memoji, or Monogram.
- Depending on your choice, you can add effects, change the background color, or turn on the “Depth Effect.” You can also customize the typography of your name by choosing your preferred font, color, and thickness. When you’re happy with your choices, click “Done” in the top-right corner to save them.
- You’ll see a preview of your poster. If you like it, click “Continue“. If you want to make more changes, click “Back”.
- If your new photo or Memoji is different from your current one, the app will ask if you want to update it. You can choose to do so or skip this step.
- You’ll see another preview with some extra options. Share your poster automatically or choose each time. Take your pick and seal the deal with “Done.”
- Lastly, if you want to use your photo for your Apple ID and My Card in contacts, click “Use“.
And just like that, you’re set! Now, every time you make a call or get one, your contact poster is gonna shine.

- Works with other apps: The Contact Poster isn’t just for the Phone app. Apps like WhatsApp and Skype dig it too.
Cons:
- Requires iOS 17 or later: You gotta have iOS 17 or newer. If you or your buddy are on an older iOS, no Contact Poster for you.
