How to Activate or Find NFC on Your Device
Before diving into our Reviews Card, it’s important to know how it works. Some users might find that their phone doesn’t have NFC turned on by default. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. This guide is here to help you quickly get your NFC up and running, especially if you’re using an Android device. iPhones usually have NFC activated from the get-go.
NFC Reader and Capability: Make sure you can locate your NFC reader on your device, and that your device is NFC-capable.
Screen Status: Ensure that the screen is unlocked, and your device is actively in use. Failure to do so might result in the device’s inability to read the NFC tag or receive data.
With these in place, you’ll be ready to make the most of your Reviews Card. Now, let’s proceed with instructions on how to activate or find NFC on your device if needed.
