How to Turn on NFC on Moto G Stylus 5G
NFC (Near Field Communication) is convenient wireless technology that allows you to share data, make mobile payments, and connect with other devices by simply touching them together. It’s a great way to quickly and easily exchange information without having to fumble with cables or Bluetooth settings.
If you have a Moto G Stylus 5G, turning on NFC is a simple process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Go to Settings
From your home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen to access the Quick Settings panel. Then, tap on the gear icon to open the Settings menu.
2. Select Connected Devices
In the Settings menu, scroll down and select “Connected devices.” This will open a list of all the wireless and connectivity options available on your phone.
3. Toggle NFC On
Under “Connected devices,” find the “NFC” option. Tap on the toggle switch next to it to turn NFC on. You should see a confirmation message at the bottom of the screen.
4. Enable Beam
Once NFC is turned on, tap on the “Beam” option below it. This will enable Beam, which allows you to share files, contacts, and other data between two NFC-enabled devices by touching them together.
5. Decide What to Share
When you touch two NFC-enabled devices together, you’ll be prompted to select what you want to share. You can choose to share a file, a contact, or a link. Once you’ve made your selection, the data will be transferred wirelessly.
Tips for Using NFC
- Keep your device unlocked. NFC will only work if your phone is unlocked. So, make sure to unlock your phone before you try to use NFC.
- Make sure the other device is NFC-enabled. NFC only works between two NFC-enabled devices. So, make sure that the other device you’re trying to connect with has NFC turned on.
- Position the devices correctly. When you touch two NFC-enabled devices together, make sure that the NFC antennas are touching. The NFC antenna is usually located on the back of the phone, near the battery.
- Be patient. NFC can sometimes take a few seconds to connect. So, be patient and wait for the devices to establish a connection before you try to share data.
