Add or edit your contact info and photo on iPad

iPad uses your Apple Account to create your contact card, called My Card, in the Contacts app. You can also add or edit details—including your name, address, phone number, and birthday, as well as the Contact Poster, which you can share with people when you call or send a message to them.

Complete or edit My Card

  1. Go to the Contacts app 👁 Image
    on your iPad.

  2. Tap My Card at the top, then tap Edit.

    If you don’t see My Card, tap 👁 the Add button
    and enter your information, then return to the contact list, touch and hold your contact, and tap Make this My Card.

    Contacts suggests addresses and phone numbers to help you.
