NFC reader location guide

Find your sweet spot.

Every phone hides its NFC reader in a slightly different spot. Find your exact model below so your tag scans first time, every time.

Samsung & Huawei

Samsung's sweet spot sits just above the logo or near the camera module; Huawei's sits just above the camera module.

Apple iPhone

On most iPhones, the sweet spot is the top back of the phone, just above the Apple logo, near the cameras. On iPhone 8 and earlier, it's the middle back, centred on the logo.

If it doesn't scan first time

Move your phone slowly around the top-back area until you feel a vibration or see a notification. Keep the tag steady and the back of the phone flat against it for a couple of seconds. On iPhone, you'll need the Scan Me Save Me app open first.
