The free Lynkle Android app lets you create, customize, and share a professional digital business card from your phone by QR code, link, or Google Wallet. Download it from Google Play. NFC Tap to Share requires Lynkle Pro or Teams. You can still create and edit your card in a browser, and recipients never need the app to open your card.
How to create a digital business card on Android
Step 1: Download the Lynkle Android app
Download Lynkle from Google Play to set up and share your card from your Android phone. lynkle.com/sign-up remains available as a browser alternative.
Step 2: Create or sign in to your account
Open the app and tap Sign up, or sign in if you already have a Lynkle account. You can create an account with Google or your email address.
Step 3: Open the card editor
On the Cards screen, tap Create card. The Android app opens Personal details first. After that, the editor groups your information into sections so you can complete each part and return to the overview.
Step 4: Add your personal details and handle
Add your first name, optional middle and last names, then choose Your handle. Your handle becomes the shareable URL for your card, such as lynkle.com/yourname. Tap Done to return to the editor overview.
Step 5: Add professional details, links, and images
Open Professional details to add your company, position, headline, and accreditations. Use Links to add contact details, websites, and social profiles, and use Images for your profile photo or logo. Tap Done after each section.
Step 6: Review appearance and visibility
Open Appearance to customize colors and Visibility to manage privacy and search settings. These premium controls are available with Lynkle Pro or Teams. You can preview the card at any time with the preview icon at the top of the editor.
Step 7: Save your card
Return to the editor overview and tap Save card. Your digital business card is now live. To change it later, open the Cards screen and tap Edit below the card.
Step 8: Add the card to Google Wallet
On the Cards screen, open More actions (the three-dot button) below your card, then select Add to Google Wallet. Follow the Google Wallet prompt to save the pass and keep its QR code close at hand.
Step 9: Share by QR code, copy, or message
Your QR code is displayed directly on the card in the app. Show it for someone to scan, tap Copy to copy your card link, or tap Share to send a prepared email, text, or WhatsApp message. The recipient opens your card in a browser and never needs the Lynkle app.
Share by NFC tap with Lynkle Pro or Teams
NFC Tap to Share requires Lynkle Pro or Teams. It uses supported Android phones' built-in NFC hardware to share your card without a separate physical NFC card. On the Cards screen, tap Tap below your card, then hold the NFC areas of the phones together until Lynkle confirms the share. The recipient opens your live card in their browser.
Pair an optional third-party NFC tag
Compatible physical NFC cards and tags are a separate, free sharing option. Open More actions below your card, select Pair with NFC tag, and hold your phone near the compatible writable tag until Lynkle confirms the write. Lynkle does not manufacture, sell, or endorse physical NFC products.
