Hello,

I have tested various online services that generate vCard codes, and with iPhone, I have seen the same issue (one of the websites I tested is qrcode-monkey.com). Not only that, but the vCard inside the QR Code has same character encoding as my plugin generates, and the exactly the same characters for non-english letters. I do plan to investigate more and I will be tweaking things in the future, but there are limits to what I can do here.

From what I have seen in the forums related to iPhone and iOS, a lot of users are having the same issues, and that has been going on back for at least 7-8 years, and there is no universal way to support vCard on iPhone properly. Android is better in that regards, but even Android can have quirks. All this is beyond my control! My plugin can encode the data to QR Code, that’s it – it can’t do anything else.

I have added article to this website with QR Code limitations and recommendation:
