Turn on NFC on an Android phone
Updated
An Android phone reads Mibio only while NFC is on. Switching it on takes a few seconds, and it stays on.
The quick way
- Swipe down from the top of the screen twice to open Quick Settings.
- Find the NFC tile and tap it, so it lights up. If you don't see it, swipe left: it may be on another page of tiles.
- Hold your Mibio product against the back of the phone to check.
From Settings
- Open Settings.
- Type NFC in the search bar at the top.
- Open the NFC setting and switch it on.
Where the setting lives depends on the brand. Two common examples:
- Samsung: Settings › Connections › NFC and contactless payments
- Google Pixel: Settings › Connected devices › Connection preferences › NFC
