Share contact details in the Room where you met
PingRoom 1.5.2 lets you hand one person your contact card inside an active private Room, without exposing it to everyone else there.
You meet someone in a Room because you are both working on the same event, pickup, class, or volunteer shift. Later, you decide that person should be able to reach you somewhere else too.
PingRoom 1.5.2 adds a direct way to share your Personal Room contact card with one person from the private Room you already share. The contact arrives in that Room, but it belongs only to the recipient you chose. Other members do not gain access to it.
As of September 15, this article describes the PingRoom 1.5.2 build submitted for store review and available through PingRoom’s beta path. Version 1.5.2 had not yet been verified on either public store. Store review and rollout timing can change; this is not an Android production-availability claim.

Prepare the card you mean to share
Your contact card belongs to your Personal Room. Before handing it to anyone, open your Personal Room settings and review the details saved there.
The card can include links such as Instagram, Telegram, LinkedIn, a phone number, WhatsApp, and a custom destination. In 1.5.2, WhatsApp can use either a phone number with its country code or a username such as @yourname.
Add only the routes you are comfortable giving to a real person. Opening a shared Room, joining it, or receiving a Ping does not reveal the card by itself.
Share with one person from the active Room
The two of you must already belong to the same active private Room. Open that person’s member details in the Room and choose Share contact.
This is an immediate, deliberate handoff, not a draft. PingRoom gives that person access to the card you prepared and creates a contact-share item for them in the same Room. Review the card before selecting the action.
The Room is the delivery context, not the audience. If seven people share the Room and you choose one member, the other six do not receive your card and cannot treat the contact-share item as theirs.
The illustration separates the shared meeting place from the Personal Room doorway. Pingo’s fictional CMO title does not let him read Rooms, choose recipients, or share anyone’s details.
The card opens without another membership step
When the recipient selects the contact-share item from the Room or Ping history, PingRoom opens the actual Personal Room contact card you shared. They do not have to be a member of your Personal Room first.
The handoff has four boundaries:
- the original private Room shows where the handoff happened;
- the Personal Room identifies which contact card to open;
- the share grants access to that card for the selected person;
- it does not add them to another Room or expose the card to the group.
If someone has not received your card, finding your public Personal Room handle or scanning its QR still does not reveal those private contact details.
Use the Room as context, not permission for everyone
For an event crew, share after you agree to continue the conversation. For a class, share with the person handling the project handoff. For a neighborhood pickup, share only when you want that specific neighbor to keep a direct route to you.
These are setup examples, not customer stories. A shared Room explains why two people know each other, but the card owner still decides who gets the contact details.
The contact can leave the Room with one person without turning every Room member into an address-book entry.
