The present disclosure provides an approach for implementing a multi-platform contact information system. The approach receives first contact information data from a first user device corresponding to a first user. The first contact information data comprises a plurality of data entries corresponding to a plurality of different platform connection types. The approach stores the first contact information data on a plurality of second user devices corresponding to a plurality of second users. Then, the approach detects a change to the first contact information by the first user. In response to detecting the change to the first contact information, the approach stores the change to the first contact information on the plurality of second user devices. In turn, the approach provides a notification to the plurality of second users that indicate the change to the first contact information.

1. A method comprising: receiving first contact information data from a first user device corresponding to a first user, wherein the first contact information data comprises a plurality of data entries corresponding to a plurality of different platform connection types; storing the first contact information data on a plurality of second user devices corresponding to a plurality of second users; detecting a change, on the first user device, to the first contact information data; in response to detecting the change to the first contact information data, storing the change to the first contact information data on the plurality of second user devices; and providing a notification to the plurality of second users that indicate the change to the first contact information data.

2. A system comprising: a memory; and a processing device, that is operatively coupled to the memory, to: receive first contact information data from a first user device corresponding to a first user, wherein the first contact information data comprises a plurality of data entries corresponding to a plurality of different platform connection types; store the first contact information data on a plurality of second user devices corresponding to a plurality of second users; detect a change to the first contact information data on the first user device; in response to detecting the change to the first contact information data, store the change to the first contact information data on the plurality of second user devices; and provide a notification to the plurality of second users that indicate the change to the first contact information data.

3. A non-transitory computer readable medium, storing instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to: receive first contact information data from a first user device corresponding to a first user, wherein the first contact information data comprises a plurality of data entries corresponding to a plurality of different platform connection types; store the first contact information data on a plurality of second user devices corresponding to a plurality of second users; detect a change to the first contact information data on the first user device; in response to detecting the change to the first contact information data, store the change to the first contact information data on the plurality of second user devices; and provide a notification to the plurality of second users that indicate the change to the first contact information data.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first contact information data comprises a plurality of social media handles that each correspond to one of a plurality of social media platforms that are different from each other.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the storing of the change to the first contact information data on the plurality of second user devices comprises auto-propagating the change to the first contact information data on the plurality of second user devices.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of data entries corresponds to a plurality of fields, and at least one of the plurality of fields is a social media handle field.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the method further comprises: sharing a portion of the plurality of fields with one of the plurality of second users based on a selection by the first user; and sharing a different portion of the plurality of fields with a different one of the plurality of second users based on a different selection by the first user.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the method further comprises: generating, by the first user device, a QR (quick response) code encapsulating a portion of the plurality of fields to share with a new user device; providing the QR code to the new user device; and in response to the new user device scanning the QR code, sharing a portion of the first contact information data corresponding to the portion of the plurality of fields with the new user device.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the first user creates a plurality of profiles within a single account, and wherein each one of the plurality of profiles comprises one of a plurality of sets of contacts and customizable data fields to share with the corresponding one of a plurality of sets of contacts.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein each one of the plurality of profiles comprises customizable privacy settings that enable the first user to control a visibility of selected data fields based on a relationship with the corresponding one of a plurality of sets of contacts.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein each one of the plurality of profiles maintains its own synchronized contact information.

12. The system of claim 2, wherein the first contact information data comprises a plurality of social media handles that each correspond to one of a plurality of social media platforms that are different from each other.

13. The system of claim 2, wherein the storing of the change to the first contact information data on the plurality of second user devices comprises auto-propagating the change to the first contact information data on the plurality of second user devices.

14. The system of claim 2, wherein the plurality of data entries corresponds to a plurality of fields, and at least one of the plurality of fields is a social media handle field.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the processing device is further to: share a portion of the plurality of fields with one of the plurality of second users based on a selection by the first user; and share a different portion of the plurality of fields with a different one of the plurality of second users based on a different selection by the first user.

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the processing device is further to: generate, by the first user device, a QR (quick response) code encapsulating a portion of the plurality of fields to share with a new user device; provide the QR code to the new user device; and in response to the new user device scanning the QR code, share a portion of the first contact information data corresponding to the portion of the plurality of fields with the new user device.

17. The system of claim 2, wherein the first user creates a plurality of profiles within a single account, and wherein each one of the plurality of profiles comprises one of a plurality of sets of contacts and customizable data fields to share with the corresponding one of a plurality of sets of contacts.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 3, wherein the first contact information data comprises a plurality of social media handles that each correspond to one of a plurality of social media platforms that are different from each other.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 3, wherein the storing of the change to the first contact information data on the plurality of second user devices comprises auto-propagating the change to the first contact information data on the plurality of second user devices.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 3, wherein the plurality of data entries corresponds to a plurality of fields, and at least one of the plurality of fields is a social media handle field, and wherein the processing device is further to: share a portion of the plurality of fields with one of the plurality of second users based on a selection by the first user; and share a different portion of the plurality of fields with a different one of the plurality of second users based on a different selection by the first user.
