Google Messages & Gboard

[tdshirley34]

How can I send a V-card from the stock Google messages and using the stock Gboard?
I know I can use the share from the Contact . I know I can use apps like Textra...
I want to stay stock on my Essential PH1. But not being able to share a contact v-card from the stock messages and Gboard kinda drives me crazy

I go to my contact and share it there through Google messenger..did not know you could share any other way.

If you use Textra. From the messaging app, click the + icon. Then click the contact icon. Then send V-card.... Just curious why this is not possible...
I've read where the stock messages app can search contacts if I press the "G" in the prediction bar (top left)...but my phone is not doing so...
