How To Use NFC Tags With Your iPhone 

You could also just set a login site for your WiFi network

No problem, glad I showed you it.

@@Mr_Jacks646 do I know you? And when exactly did you show me?

You sir are awesome!

@@joshmuggs5493 are you adding a public comment but for some reason replying to me instead?

@@longnhatking5408 lol 2 years and you’re still replying. did you get nfc tags?

I'm trying to use it as a medical ID it was made on windows has worked with every android device but has been 50/50 with iphones works on SE2,x, 11 does not work on 8, 11 pro or 12 (mini?) I really have no clue why

That's a big topic. Utilizing? The apps should just work with no resource problems. Maybe contact Microsoft support with specific issues -- remember you are paying them for support so they should help.

For the iphone 12 pro max its in the top left

Not sure, sorry.

In order to answer that question you need to provide the model of iPhone and the iOS version you are running

Hey not sure if you’re gonna see this but I’m trying to make a present for a girlfriend using the same app as you, I’ve attached a google drive with pictures of us and it’s on the NFC but it won’t open when I scan it it doesn’t do anything just acknowledges it wondered if you could help would be much appreciated thanks!

QR codes go to web pages. If you just want an image, then only put that image on the web page or create the QR code as a direct link to that image on your site.

When you scan a card you get a URL. So it takes you to a web page. Just bookmark that web page.

Sorry but you don’t need a tag to do that. Go to the Shortcut Gallery and find : Share Wi-Fi

Compatible how? The iPhone only uses URLs for NFC tags, so nothing would work directly on the Wallet app.

I think it applicable for the latest ios

I think only one link per tag.

My Iphone 11 also doesn't work. Does anybody knows a hint?

I don't believe there is any way to do this, though maybe an app developer can build an app that works with your door panel system.

Lm

Same here ✌️👏🏼

iPhone requires the tag to contain a URL. SO you can do whatever you want, but it must be a URL. So any special function Android has for reading a Wi-Fi password directly from a tag wouldn't work unless it was part of a URL in some way.

its been an android thing for probably 10yrs now. you guys (IOS) got it recently with a few models with the 7 or 8. you should see more about it now that a few models are using it.

@@haroldbrown3452 I'd like to correct this streamer and correct you as well iPhone 7 is not the oldest model apple that can use nfc it is also capable in the 6, se, and I believe the 5. This feature is available for any apple products that use apple pay and can tap. So this has literally been an apple feature well over 10 years and even before Android started incorporating it

It actually is common knowledge just nobody ever takes the time to learn about their phone they rather learn from others.

@@cyanideenvysixxx Really- where do you find this feature I have a 6 plus and cant find it

@@norleenslack5218 first of all I clearly stated that they all have the feature. If my statement was false(which it can't be because there is proof) than apple tap to pay would not be capable on the models prior to the 7 which it is as you yourself should know. And secondly I also stated that you cannot toggle or mess with the NFC features on any model before the 7 including your 6plus model but they do in fact have the capabilities to use NFC. On another note if you do have any questions I'm more than happy to help if you contact me directly. I would rather not have full paragraphs of me explaining information that this streamer missed because I would feel rude seeing as he took time out his day to make this informational videos to help people and I do not want others to think we are merely poking fun.

Same for my iPhone 8+ running on IOS 14.2 :((

@@Angela-wv4yw Yeah, bit annoying.

That doesn't sound like a good idea. Maybe just send your links the normal way, using messages or AirDrop, etc? I think you can also get NFC business cards.

Same, you can only use the shortcuts nfc with all phones newer than iPhone X (I have an IPhone X as well) but my problem is even with the NFC tools app I can’t write to any NFC tags and have my phone or other actually read it without using the app to read it

You'd need to consult the documentation for your lock or ask the maker. They would need to build an app. Maybe they already have one.

macmostvideo thank you, I will search the documentation.

Not sure what you are trying to do. How are you trying to use NFC tags with Alexa? They are not related, as far as I can see. What is it you are trying to do? Maybe I'm missing som context here as you mention a "reply" but this is a new comment and not a reply to anything.

Most of them are probably 32-64 bytes I'd say, 64 being a very large amount

iPhones only work with URL NFC info. So you probably won't be able to. Instead, maybe create a URL to a website so it works on all devices.

Oh wait, there's no NFC option under Settings in New Automation in iOS 14. In fact the layout and options are very different. Just rewatched the video and maybe we have to scan a blank tag first and then the write option will appear? Or do we need a 3rd party writer installed first perhaps? Come to think of it, the Settings section under New Automation at 1:53 appears to be similar to Control Center, therefore it appears that Shortcuts is accessing Control Center in your version of iOS. Possibly? Which therefore would mean that all we might need to do is launch NFC Scanner from Control Centre, scan a new tag and then perhaps Shortcut or another configuration panel may appear to allows us to proceed with encoding the tag. Going to have to test out this theory...... unless someone else already has? Will need to get some tags first. :D

The only "info" on the tag is a URL. Think of it as a printed URL on a piece of paper, you can't "hide" it from some people and not others. Anyone can read the tag and go to that URL. It is a very simple object. Now if the URL is removed from the site then the tag becomes useless. Or, if the URL is something that just activates a Shortcut on your iPhone then someone using it without your iPhone wouldn't be able to do anything with that URL anyway.

You can't. iPhones only allow URLs as NFC content when it comes to reading.

@@macmost Dang. Well, thanks for the confirmation so I don't keep thinking there's something amiss! The more I learn about all the neat things I can do with NFC tags, the more limits I discover. Grrr.

If you set the NFC tags to trigger a Shortcut on iOS, that would mean nothing to the Android phone. So using NFC is probably not what you want. Or just make two NFC tags, one for iOS and another for whatever Android software will work with it.

This video is from late 2019, so that would have been iOS 13.

Which "list" do you mean? Which iPhone model do you have?

iOS 14 it’s in control centre

I don't know what you mean by "wifi tag." If you have Wi-Fi in your home, just go to Settings Wi-Fi on your iPhone and select the network you want.

No, it shouldn't need anything.

Well, it would make sense that it needs to be unlocked to DO anything with the information, like go to a URL, so that's the same thing.

I think the iPhone 7 is too old for this.

The iPhone just takes URLs, so it most likely won't work as a way to "give" someone your business card. Send them to a web page instead.

@@macmost Thanks for clarifying.

That’s why Gary recommended the NFC Tools app. He’s usually extremely though but he never fully explained why the third party app was necessary

There are special tags, I think, that are write once. But keep in mind that if a tag is out of your control (in public) someone can also just remove it or replace it. They don't need to rewrite it.

@@macmost I was thinking about using these for geocaching, so if hidden well enough, hopefully I could avoid them being taken from a non-geocacher.

Depends if you do that with a URL or a Shortcut. If so, I suppose you can work that out. Of course you could also just run the shortcut without the tag.
