To make a digital business card on Android, install ConnectMachine from Google Play, add your details, photo, and links, and share by QR code, link, or Google Wallet pass. Setup takes a few minutes, the free plan covers it, and the person you meet needs no app to save your contact details.
Most digital business card advice is written iPhone-first, which is odd, because Android phones are the majority of the phones your card will ever be opened on. The good news: on Android the card story is just as complete, from the Play Store install to the Google Wallet pass to the widget on your home screen.
This page covers creating your card on Android, keeping it one tap away with Google Wallet and widgets, and what happens when the person across from you is holding an iPhone, which is exactly nothing to worry about.
Made in minutes, on the phone in your hand
Install ConnectMachine from Google Play, add your name, title, photo, and links, and your card exists. The free plan covers up to 4 cards, so a work card and a personal one can live side by side, and no payment step stands between you and a shareable card. Want to try before installing? The free web builder creates a card in the browser, no account needed.
Google Wallet and your home screen
Add your card to Google Wallet and it is ready alongside your payment cards and passes. A home screen widget keeps your QR one glance away, so the moment of meeting someone never involves hunting through apps. Because the pass and the widget point at your live card, they stay current when your details change; nothing to regenerate, nothing to re-add.
Where your card actually lives on Android
The card lives in the ConnectMachine app, where you edit it. A copy travels as a pass in Google Wallet. Your QR sits in a widget on the home screen. And the card's public page lives at a link any browser can open. One edit in the app updates all of them, because every surface points at the same live card.
Sharing with iPhone users
The exchange does not care what the other person carries. An iPhone camera reads your QR natively, the link opens in Safari like any page, and your details save to their contacts in one tap. No app on their side, no account, no compatibility conversation. It works the same to a laptop, a tablet, or a printout of your QR taped to a booth.
Capture the other half of the exchange
Sharing your card is the easy half. When someone hands you a paper card, scan it with the AI scanner and it becomes a clean contact instead of a photo in your gallery. A ShareBack form collects their details as you share yours. Add a note or a voice memo while the conversation is fresh, and later ask the AI Concierge who you met at last month's event; it answers from your own network.
