How to Create Contact Poster on iPhone

Every new iOS update adds some customization features to the iPhone, allowing users to personalize their iPhones. With the latest iOS 17 update, the biggest customization is coming to the Phone app. Now, users can create Contact Posters that other iPhone users will see when they call. We love this feature as it lets us express ourselves even before someone picks up our calls. Here is how to create your Contact Poster on your iPhone.

But first,

• Enable Screen Distance feature in iOS 17 to protect your eyes.

Things to keep in mind about iPhone Contact Posters

Before we get to our guide, there are a few confusions that we want to clear.

• You don’t have to create a Contact Poster for all your contacts. The idea is that everyone will create their own Contact Poster.
• You will create your own Contact Poster and share it with your contacts. As more and more iPhone users start using Contact Posters, your contact list will automatically show their Contact Posters.
• That said, you can create Contact Posters for your contacts. We recommend doing it only if someone has not added a Contact Poster (a friend who uses Android) or you don’t like someone’s Contact Poster (maybe they made it too obscene).
• A Contact Poster is different from a contact photo. The contact photo is what you see in the circle above the name of the contact.
• You can create multiple Contact Posters and switch between them as you switch between different lock screens.

With these points out of the way, let’s see how you can create your Contact Poster on your iPhone.
