Activating NFC on Android

If your device has NFC, the chip and Android Beam need to be activated so that you can use NFC:

  1. On your Android device, tap on “Settings.”
  2. Select “Connected devices.”
  3. Select “Connection preferences.”
  4. You should see “NFC” and “Android Beam” options.
  5. Turn both of them on.

Smartphones’ NFC capabilities operate in tandem with Android Beam. If Android Beam is disabled, it may limit NFC’s sharing capacity.

Activating NFC on iPhone

As of iOS 13, iPhones XS, XS Max, XR, 11 or 11 Pro can now read read NFC tags natively (you do not need to have a separate app installed) so there is no activation required.  On iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X you need to install an app like GoToTags.

Sorry, but iPhone 6 and 6S can only be used to make NFC payments, not to read NFC tags–you’ll need to use the QR Code option.

So, just make sure you’ve updated to the latest iOS version and you should be ready to go!
