Xiaomi: Share a Contact via Message or App

Retyping a phone number into a text message often introduces errors, especially with long international formats. On Xiaomi phones, the Contacts app lets you send a person's saved details directly through messaging or email without typing anything manually. This keeps every field intact and avoids typos on both sides.

Share a Contact via Message or App auf Xiaomi

Sharing a contact directly from the Contacts app prevents transcription errors that happen when you read out a phone number over the phone or manually copy an email address into a message.

On Xiaomi devices running MIUI, the share function bundles the saved fields, such as name, number and email, into a single file and lets you send it through any messaging or email app installed on the phone.

To share a contact, open Contacts, then tap on the person you want to send. From the contact's profile, open the Menu and tap on Share. Select the contact details you want to include and tap Continue. Choose an app to share the contact, for example a messenger, email client or Bluetooth.

The recipient gets a file their phone can import directly into their own contacts list, so no manual entry is needed on either end.

This method works the same way whether you share a single number or several fields like company, address or notes attached to the contact.

If the Share option is missing from the menu, check whether the Contacts app has a pending update, since older versions sometimes hide this entry behind a different label.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Open Contacts, tap and hold to select multiple entries, then open the Menu and tap Share to send them together as a single file.
