TL;DR

• Google Contacts could soon let you share your Calling Card with new people without having to call them first.
• This will be done by allowing users to add their Calling Card images to VCF files.
• However, the recipient must have the Google Contacts app installed to import the Calling Card data.

When Google introduced Calling Cards to the Contacts app last year, it gave Android users a chance to give their calls a more personalized touch. As you probably don’t want your image shown to random strangers, Google limits who can see your visual business card to only your contacts or anyone who has you saved as a contact. However, Google is now working on a third option that could let you share your Calling Card with new people.
