NFC: status and limits
NFC chip (the safest): from the Studio, on an Android phone with Chrome, you write your card’s permanent address onto a blank NFC chip or card (NTAG213, NTAG215 or NTAG216). Any NFC phone that taps it (most Androids, and iPhone XS and later) offers to open your page, with no app and no account. The address never changes: the chip stays valid even if you edit your card.
MyCarte NFC Android app (in trial): it makes the phone itself act as the card (HCE card emulation, an NFC Forum type 4 tag carrying your address). Android only, direct download. Until a real test confirms it works, the indicator stays “NFC in trial” and never “NFC active”. A phone emulating a card is not always recognised by every reader: results are in the matrix below.
The universal way remains the card’s QR code, the link and the phone share menu, which work everywhere.
NFC test matrix
| Combination (sender → receiver) | Result |
|---|---|
| NFC chip written from Android/Chrome → Android and iPhone XS or later | Expected to work (NDEF standard); device tests to be recorded |
| MyCarte NFC app on Android (Samsung, Pixel, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Tecno, Infinix, Honor, Motorola…) → Android | No validated test yet |
| MyCarte NFC app on Android → iPhone | No validated test yet |
| iPhone emulating the card → any phone | Not applicable: the iPhone cannot emulate a card for this feature |
Each combination will be classified “working”, “partial” or “not compatible” after documented tests (model, OS version, NFC settings, detection time).
