In this guide we will show you how you can create and customize a Contact Poster on your iPhone. With these instructions you will be able to create a new Contact Poster and set it on your Contact Poster.
Starting iOS 17 users will get access to a new iPhone feature called Contact Poster. This new feature will enable users to create personalized posters that are displayed to their family and friends on their devices.
Users can create a Contact Poster according to their liking. They can use their favorite photo, a Memoji, or simply a Monogram and even add their preferred font to it.
Once you have created a Contact Poster for yourself, it will appear on your friend’s iPhone as your profile picture in Messages, Contact Card, and in fullscreen whenever you call them.
Apple has built a brand new Contact Poster builder that allows usres to create new posters and customize their existing contact posters. A great thing about this feature is that it allows users to create and store multiple Contact Posters and switch between them whenever they want.

“Contact Posters” are nothing but some stupid teenager piece of garbage. Apple should immediately put out an update to allow us to shut them off – PERIOD! I don’t want to see anyone’s stupid “poster” AT ALL. And I’m sure as hell not going to create one of my own.
With no warning and no way to kill the asinine thing, we suddenly we have a complete screen waste of real estate forced upon us whether we want it or not! That IS NOT the way to make happy users. Let the idiots who want that kind of juvenile nonsense do what they want but don’t FORCE it on the rest of us!
