  1. If you’re using an iPhone XR or later, simply wake your iPhone to turn on the screen, and Background Tag Reading will be enabled.

  2. If you’re using an iPhone 7, 8, or X, follow the steps above to turn on the NFC Tag Reader.

  3. Bring your iPhone close to the NFC tag or device. You’ll see a notification appear on your screen that an NFC item has been detected.

  4. Tap the notification.
