An iPhone Contact Poster is a customizable screen that appears to your contacts when you call them. This article explains how to create and modify iPhone Contact Posters, introduced in iOS 17.

How to Create and Customize iPhone Contact Posters 

If you’ve ever customized your iPhone lock screen, the process will be very familiar. Here’s what to do:

1. In the Contacts app, tap My Card.

2. Tap Contact Photo & Poster.

3. Enter your name (or whatever name you want to appear) and tap Edit.

   To enable Contact Poster sharing, also move the slider to green beside Name & Photo Sharing.

4. To edit the default Contact Poster, tap Customize.

   You can have more than one Contact Poster, but you can only use one at a time.

5. If you don’t already have a photo in your contact card, tap Contact Photo. If you do, tap Poster and skip to step 7.

6. Choose your Contact Photo from the available options and follow the onscreen steps.

7. To create your poster, tap Customize > Poster.

8. Choose a Contact Poster style: Take a new picture with your camera or choose a photo from your Photos app, create a Memoji, or set a Monogram.

9. Customize the text that appears when you call someone by tapping the text box at the top and selecting new fonts and font colors.

   If you picked a Memoji or Monogram in step 8, change the background color by tapping the color circle in the bottom left and picking a new color.

10. When you’re happy with the contact poster, tap Done to save it.

11. Preview the poster and what your incoming calls will look like. If you want to change something, tap Back. If you’re happy with it, tap Continue.

12. With your Contact Posted created, move the Name & Photo Sharing slider to on/green.

    From Share Automatically, choose to either automatically share the poster with everyone in your Contacts or choose Always Ask to be prompted before sharing it.

How to Edit or Change iPhone Contact Posters 

Once you’ve created one or more iPhone Contact Posters, you can edit them or change the one you’re using. Here’s how:

1. To pick another Contact Poster, go to Contacts > My Card > Contact Photo & Poster > Edit > swipe to the one you want > tap Done. This is now the Contact Poster that other people see.

2. To edit a Contact Poster, go to Contacts > your contact card > Contact Photo & Poster > Edit > Customize > Poster > edit the poster > Continue.

3. To delete a Contact Poster, go to Contacts > your contact card > Contact Photo & Poster > Edit > swipe to find the one you want to delete > swipe up > tap the trash icon > tap Delete.
