How to add or edit your contact info and photo on iPad

iPad uses your Apple Account to create your contact card, called My Card, in the Contacts app. You can add or edit details—including your name, address, phone number, and birthday, as well as the Contact Poster, which you can share with people when you call or send a message to them.

When you edit My Card, your AutoFill information in Safari updates too, so online forms fill in your address automatically.

Complete or edit My Card

1. Start the Contacts app on your iPad.
2. Tap My Card at the top, then tap Edit.

   If you don’t see My Card, tap the Add button and enter your information, then return to the contact list, touch and hold your contact, and tap Make this My Card.

3. Enter your contact information.

   Contacts suggests addresses and phone numbers to help you.

Add or edit your home address

1. Start the Contacts app on your iPad.
2. Tap My Card at the top, then tap Edit.
3. Tap Add Address and then add your address.
4. Tap the label that appears to the left of the address and select Home.

You can use AutoFill in Safari to automatically fill in your address for things like online shopping or online forms. When you edit your My Card, your AutoFill information automatically updates. See Fill in personal information.

Add or edit your avatar and poster

When you call or send a message to others, your avatar and poster can show up automatically if you set them.

1. Start the Contacts app on your iPad.
2. Tap My Card at the top, then tap Edit.
3. Tap your contact photo and choose a style.
4. Tap Customize to edit your avatar and poster.

Share your name and contact image

You can have your updated name, photo, and poster automatically shared with people in your contacts.

1. Start the Contacts app on your iPad.
2. Tap My Card at the top, tap Edit, and then tap your contact photo.
3. Turn on Name & Photo Sharing to start sharing your contact photo and poster with others. (You may need to scroll down.)

   You can share automatically with Contacts Only, or select Always Ask to be prompted before your name, photo, and poster are shared with anyone.

Add or edit contact pronouns

You can add or edit your pronouns or another contact’s pronouns in the Contacts app.

1. Start the Contacts app on your iPad.
2. Tap My Card at the top to add your pronouns, or select another contact to add theirs.
3. Tap Edit and tap add pronouns.
4. Select your language and add the correct pronouns.

   You can also add pronouns in other languages by tapping Add Pronouns again.

5. Tap Add.

Note: Your pronouns stay private by default when you share your contact information through Contacts or NameDrop, and another contact’s pronouns are never shared when you share their information.
