How does the NFC chip work?
NFC chips operate through an electromagnetic field, enabling wireless data exchange even in the dark.
Near-field communication requires just that – a “near field.”, the maximum range is around 4 cm.
How to scan NFC chips
Scanning NFC chips can vary slightly depending on your smartphone model
For Apple Devices
- Typically located at the top of the back side of your iPhone
- Position the top back side of your iPhone slightly angled over the raised part of the NFC chip
- Ensure the antenna area is directly over the patch for successful scanning
For Android Devices
- The location of the NFC antenna in Android devices varies by manufacturer
- It’s often found near the camera on the back of your smartphone or in the middle of the back side
- In Samsung smartphones, the NFC antenna is typically located in the middle of the back side
Tips
- Make sure your smartphone’s NFC feature is enabled. You can usually find this option in the settings menu under “Connections”.
- If you’re unsure about the exact location on your device, a quick online search with your smartphone model can provide specific guidance.
- Certain types of covers, especially those that are particularly thick or contain metal, can interfere with NFC scanning.
- Ensure your device is adequately charged for optimal NFC scanning performance.
- Sometimes, scanning too quickly can make it hard for the phone to detect and process the chip’s data.
- Patience is key: It might take a few tries to find the sweet spot where your phone’s NFC antenna aligns perfectly with the chip.
