NFC (Near Field Communication) lets you share your Wave profile with a single tap. Hold your Wave NFC card or accessory near someone's phone and your profile opens instantly.

## How to Share via NFC

<Steps>
  <Step title="Hold your NFC product">
    Take your Wave NFC card, phone tap card, or other NFC accessory and have it ready to share.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap the recipient's phone">
    Hold the NFC product against the back of the recipient's smartphone, near the top.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Profile opens">
    A notification appears on their phone. Tapping it opens your Wave profile in their browser.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Key Details

* Works within a few centimetres
* No camera needed
* Instant sharing experience
* The NFC won't work with the camera app on iPhone

Wave supports NFC as one of the primary sharing methods alongside QR and links.

## Tips for a Successful Tap

* Hold the card still for 1-2 seconds against the phone
* Position the card near the top-center of the phone (where the NFC reader typically is)
* Remove thick phone cases if the tap isn't registering
* Make sure the recipient's phone has NFC enabled (Android may require this in settings)

  **Android users:** NFC must be enabled in Settings before tapping. On iPhone XS and later, NFC is always on, just tap the top of the phone to the Wave card. If a device isn't listed, check your phone's spec sheet for NFC support.

<Tip>
  If the recipient's phone doesn't support NFC, you can always fall back to sharing via QR code. Your QR code is available in the Wave app at any time.
