⚡ Quick Answer
The Google Contacts “Your info” card is a new personal contact card that now appears at the very top of the Contacts app, above even your starred favorites, letting you store and quickly share your own phone number, email, and other details as a proper contact card — instead of digging through settings or creating a fake contact for yourself. It rolled out widely with Google Contacts version 4.83.13 in mid-July 2026, pulls your name and photo from your Google Account by default, and lets you choose exactly which fields to include before sharing it as a .vcf (VCard) file that any modern phone can read.
📝 TL;DR
- “Your info” is a new dedicated card, separate from the existing Calling Card in the Phone app.
- It sits at the top of your contacts list, so you never have to search for your own details again.
- You control exactly what gets shared — add, remove, or hide fields before sending your card.
- By default, only your device number shares automatically; everything else stays private until you choose to include it.
- Google is reportedly preparing this feature to support an upcoming “Tap to Share” proximity-sharing tool, similar to AirDrop.

What the “Your Info” Card Actually Is
Until this update, sharing your own contact details from an Android phone meant either reading your number off manually or creating a fake “Me” contact just to have something to send. Google Contacts now solves this with a proper personal card feature that mirrors what iPhone users have had for years through Apple’s “My Card.” When you open the Contacts app, you’ll see a “Your info” box right at the very top of your contacts list, above your starred favorites, showing your name, photo, and a share button.
- It’s accessible from both the Contacts app and the Phone app, the latter via the “Your Contacts” button.
- Tapping the card reveals your mobile number, email address, and any additional phone numbers or details you’ve added.
- It arrived with Google Contacts version 4.83.13.940538822 and is rolling out broadly to Android devices.
“Your Info” vs. the Calling Card
Google already had a personal “Calling Card” feature inside the Phone app, but it serves a completely different purpose than “Your info,” and understanding the difference will save you from editing the wrong one.
- The Calling Card only controls how your name and photo appear when you call people who already have your number saved.
- The “Your info” card is built for the opposite situation — sharing your details with someone who doesn’t have them yet.
- The two features currently live in separate apps and don’t share settings, so updating your photo in one won’t automatically update the other.
How to Set Up Your Card
- Open the Google Contacts app and look for the “Your info” card at the very top of your contacts list.
- Tap the card, then tap the pencil (edit) icon in the upper-right corner.
- Fill in any additional details you want included: extra phone numbers, a physical address, or “Other” details like your job title, company, or website.
- Tap Save in the upper-right corner once you’re finished.
- To change details that were auto-filled from your Google Account (like your profile photo or primary email), edit them directly in your Google Account settings instead of inside Contacts.
How to Share It
- Tap the share icon next to the “Your info” card at the top of your contacts list.
- Check or uncheck the boxes for exactly which fields you want to include in that specific share.
- Send it through any app you’d normally use — messaging, email, or a file-sharing tool like Quick Share.
- The recipient gets a standard .vcf (VCard) file, which any modern phone’s Contacts app can read and save directly.
What’s Shared by Default vs. What You Control
⚠️ Good to know: By default, only the phone number tied to your device shares automatically and is labeled “device number” in the card. Every other detail — email, extra numbers, address, or job info — stays private and only goes out if you actively check the box for it before sharing.
- You choose per-share what’s included, so a card sent to a coworker can look different from one sent to a new acquaintance.
- Fields you never fill in simply won’t appear as an option to share, since the card only shows what you’ve actually added.
- Because this card is designed to support Google’s upcoming “Tap to Share” proximity-sharing feature (an AirDrop-style tool still in development), it’s worth reviewing what’s filled in now so it’s ready whenever that feature arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to update my apps to see the “Your info” card?
Yes. The feature arrived with Google Contacts version 4.83.13.940538822 and later, so you’ll need to update the app from the Play Store if you don’t see the card yet.
Can other people see my “Your info” card without me sharing it?
No. The card is only visible to you inside your own Contacts app; it becomes visible to someone else only when you actively tap the share button and send it to them.
Is this the same as iPhone’s “My Card” feature?
It works very similarly — both place a personal card at the top of the Contacts app for quick access and sharing — though the underlying apps and file formats are platform-specific.
Why can’t I edit my photo or email directly from the card?
Fields that are pulled in automatically from your Google Account, like your profile photo and primary email, need to be changed in your Google Account settings rather than inside the Contacts app itself.
