Sharing contact details with other iPhone users while making calls

I would like to share my photo and name with everyone when making iPhone-to-iPhone calls, including people who are not in my contacts. However, the only options available are "Always Ask" and "Contacts Only". I don't see an "Everyone" option. Has anyone experienced this issue or found a solution?

What Call? On an iPhone, you can make and receive various types of calls. Here are the different types:


  1. These are standard voice calls made over the cellular network. They utilize your carrier's voice network to connect you with other phone numbers. Allow phone calls on your iPad, iPod touch, and Mac
  2. FaceTime Audio allows you to make voice calls over Wi-Fi or cellular data using your internet connection. It provides higher audio quality compared to traditional cellular calls.
  3. FaceTime Video enables you to have video calls with other FaceTime users. It uses the front or rear camera on your iPhone to transmit live video during the call. Use FaceTime with your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support (IN)
  4. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls use internet connectivity to make phone calls. Apps like Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, and Google Hangouts utilize this technology, allowing you to make voice and video calls over the Internet.
  5. Some carriers support Wi-Fi calling, which allows you to make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi network instead of relying solely on cellular coverage. This can be useful in areas with weak cellular reception. Make a call with Wi-Fi Calling - Apple Support (IN)
  6. The App Store offers numerous calling apps that utilize different technologies. These apps can provide additional features and options for making calls, such as international calling, call recording, and more.


It's important to note that the availability of certain call types may depend on your iPhone model, iOS version, and carrier.

Personally, I would never want my photos and name shared with every other iPhone user who sends me messages.


But you can...

Thanks SravanKrA for your response.

I was referring for standard voice calls made over the cellular network. Please see the image. I do not see the everyone option.

When I make standard voice call iPhone-to-iPhone to someone new then I would like to show my photo and name rather than my number. Is it possible? If so, which version of iOS/iPhone?
