NFC cards · iPhone and Android
The card works best when it touches your phone’s NFC sweet spot. Pick your phone below — we’ll show you exactly where.
Use the top edgeTouch the card to the very top of your iPhone, near the front camera.
How it works
01
Unlock the screen. You don’t need to open an app or the camera.
02
Place the card directly against the highlighted area — not several inches away.
03
Hold for a moment, then tap the banner that appears on screen.
The detail that matters
On iPhone it’s along the top edge. Most Android phones read near the camera or upper-middle back. Slowly move the card over that area if the first position doesn’t trigger.
If nothing happens
Start at the phone’s top edge or camera area and move the card slowly. The reader is small, so an inch can make the difference.
Metal plates, magnetic wallets, PopSockets, and especially thick cases can block or weaken the NFC signal.
Open Settings and search “NFC.” Make sure NFC or contactless interactions are enabled. iPhones keep NFC enabled automatically.
A second phone quickly confirms whether the issue is positioning, a device setting, or the card’s programming.
If nothing appears on any phone, create a free Abutic profile or vCard, then program that link onto the card.
Give the tap a destination
An Abutic profile is the best thing to put on the chip — custom URL, analytics, and live updates. Or start with a free vCard in two minutes, then program the card.
Recommended
Custom URL, branding, lead capture, and scan analytics. Change anything later without rewriting the chip.
