You’ve probably seen people tap their phone on a Tinksy Tag and instantly open a playlist, album, Instagram profile, or contact card.
And then comes the big question: “Will this work on my phone?”
Short answer? Probably yes.
Most modern smartphones support NFC technology now. All iPhones from the iPhone 6 onwards come with NFC support, while newer Android devices usually support it too.
The easiest way to check on Android is simple:
Go to Settings → Search “NFC”
If it appears, your phone supports NFC.
If nothing shows up, your device might not be compatible.
Here’s a list of phone models that commonly support NFC functionality:
