Google has been reported to bring a similar feature, which is dubbed Gesture Exchange. The code is the string, also highlights ContactExchangeActivity and ndef, which is likely to stand for the NFC Data Exchange Format. In the Android version of the NameDrop-like feature, users can choose which personal details to share, like photo, phone number, or email address. If the users don’t want to share any of the personal information, they can opt for the Receive Only function.
Now, on the receiver’s end, they will also only be able to see the information the other Android users have shared. Then it will prompt the users to save the details on their device as a latest contact entry. Google’s version of the Contact Poster is in work for the Android, and may come to the users in future updates.
