How to activate the NFC function

 

If your Android device is compatible with NFC technology, activating this type of connectivity is really a breeze! To do so, call up the notification area or the Android Control Center, locate the NFC icon inside it and tap on it, to “light it up” and activate NFC.

 

Alternatively, you can obtain the same result by acting from the Android Settings, accessible by tapping on the gear icon on the Home screen: once there, open the Connections, Device connection or Other settings > Connections section, locate the option dedicated to NFC and move the lever located at the top of the next screen from OFF to ON.

 

Depending on the version of Android on board your device, the menu items may be different: on Xiaomi devices, for example, you need to reach the Settings > Connection and sharing > NFC menu; on Huawei terminals the path to follow is Settings > Device connection > NFC, while on Samsung devices you need to go to the Connections > NFC menu.

 

If you do not find the NFC option in the device settings menu, it is very likely that this technology is not supported; to make sure, you can use the NFC Check app, available for free both on the Play Store and on alternative markets dedicated to devices without Google services.
