First tap setup: how to make sure your phone recognizes the keychain.
NFC keychains don't need to be "paired" the way Bluetooth devices do — your phone reads the chip on tap, no setup required. But there's a small adjustment that makes the very first tap go smoothly. Here's what to do.
On iPhone (7 and newer), NFC is always on — nothing to enable. On Android, it's usually on by default, but some phones let you turn it off. Check by going to Settings → Connected devices → Connection preferences → NFC and ensuring the toggle is on.
Your phone screen must be on and unlocked for the NFC chip to read. A phone that's locked or in your pocket won't pick up the tap. So when you're about to share your card, wake your phone first.
NFC antennas live in different spots depending on phone model. On most iPhones it's at the top of the back. On most Android phones it's in the middle. If the first spot doesn't work, slide the keychain slowly along the back until you feel the tap register.
A small banner appears at the top of your screen with your vCard URL. Tap that banner and your vCard loads in your browser. On newer iPhones, the link sometimes opens automatically without a notification — even faster.
