How to Use NFC on Your iPhone: Updated for iPhone 16

With the growing adoption of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, iPhones have become increasingly efficient at tapping into this technology. As of iPhone 11, NFC is always enabled in the background, so you no longer need to manually activate it. This article provides the most up-to-date guidance on using NFC with the latest iPhone 16, along with new ways to leverage NFC, including our top-selling customized NFC business cards and our free digital business card app.

What is NFC and Why Use It?

NFC (Near Field Communication) technology allows for seamless data exchange between devices, enabling a wide range of actions when an NFC tag or card is encoded. With NFC, you can automate tasks like turning on/off Wi-Fi or lights, setting smart home routines, and sharing your personal information or social media profiles. Whether it's sharing your digital business card, automating smart home tasks, or even accepting payments, NFC tags and cards simplify your interactions. At NFC Tagify, our products are designed to make these processes faster, more efficient, and completely customizable to your needs.

NFC on iPhone: Always Ready with iPhone 16

Unlike earlier iPhone models, where NFC required manual activation, iPhones since the iPhone 11 have NFC running automatically in the background. That means as soon as you tap an NFC-enabled object—like a business card or a payment terminal—your iPhone will immediately read the tag. With iPhone 16, this feature continues to be streamlined, providing an even faster, more seamless experience.

Introducing Our Customized NFC Business Cards

One of our top-selling products at NFC Tagify is our customized NFC business cards. These cards make networking effortless. After receiving your customized card, simply tap it against the back of an iPhone or any NFC-compatible device. The card will automatically trigger the action of sharing your contact information.

You can easily link your customized NFC business card to your profile using our free digital business card app, available here. This app allows you to set up and manage your contact details, making sure the information shared is always up-to-date.
