Thats awesome! Tap Tag offers a Metal business card too that does the same thing, something to think about!

I have some signed CD’s hanging on a wall… I’d like to put a tap tag under each CD and have people tap it and it’ll play a song from that CD… I use Spotify to steam and have an iPhone 13

When writing on a new nfc you have to scan it with an app that allows you to write on it. After that you are able to simply tap the nfc and it will read it.

more thank you 🙏

Can you make more videos like this? Any updates this year?

Hi, great video! I was just wondering how the shortcuts app (or probably tasker since I'm gonna use an android) finds my smart home devices? Does it do it on their own or do they pair with another app, like the google assistant app or alexa for example?

@ThatDroneGuyTy

So on iPhones the smart devices would have to be found via the HomeKit app first to work properly. I’m not too familiar with android but I imagine it works the same? Is there a default android app that controls smart home things?

Maybe IFTTT ? Also dunno for which tasks you exactly need. If is for sending sms, just writing your nfc ntag with NPX application. Chip from these ntag are from NPX most of the time. Oh also don't buy these tap tag... except if is for their custom logo tags order for your company or so on. Cause 9-10$ by pcs with their own logo is expansive and almost wanted to say scam. nfc tag can be easily found for 0.33$/pcs ~ 1$/pcs

Tap Tag recently partnered with beacons to allow you set up your own business page like this beacons.ai/taptag

With the first part (visiting a link) - does this programme the actual tag, so that anyone's phone will react in the same way, or is it only programming your phone to do the action. For example, I'm thinking of sticking some onto envelopes that I post out so that people can tap them and be taken to my website. Would this work on the recipient's phone? I thought about using QR codes, but this seems simpler for the recipient.

@ThatDroneGuyTy

3 жыл бұрын

Yes the tag itself is programmed with the information so everyones phone will react the same way. The only thing is QR codes work with every single smartphone that exists while NFC tags currently work with 94% of smartphones that exist. Tap Tag offers custom bulk orders so you can print your QR onto the tag along with being able to tap it, this offers a tech-y coolness to your product. Hope that helps!

I added contact info to a tag using the same app but nothing happens when I put my phone next to the tag??

@ultimatefrisbeehq876

Alright there are a few things we can troubleshoot. First off, if you have an android phone you may have to turn NFC on in settings beforehand. If you have an Apple it should scan automatically, however if you have an iPhone X (2017) or older swipe up from bottom of phone or down from top right corner to show your quick wifi, bluetooth, flashlight settings. You'll see near your flashlight/calculator area a wifi-looking symbol. This is the NFC button for older phones that don't have NFC permanently turned on, you'll have to hit that to read the tag. If that does not work, then maybe using the "contact" portion of the app does not work correctly (some I found don't work like they should and can't be read by all phones like the "wifi" and "location" options). Maybe try using linktree.com to upload your contact info and then encode the link tree link into the tag? Let me know if this helped at all

I used NFC Tools to write the info on a blank NFC tag I have. It works, but it only launched my social network via Safari. Is there a setting I have to adjust? I followed your video exactly and it will not launch through Instagram.

@ThatDroneGuyTy

Hmm, not sure. You used the “social network” option followed by your @username in NFC tools? I can see it doing this if you pasted your actual Instagram.com/username instead. Or if the Instagram app is not downloaded? Otherwise I am not sure, it should do it automatically.

Is it possible to program multiple tags, like say 100 of them for giving away at an event with the NFC tools app?

@ThatDroneGuyTy

Yes! You can do as many as you’d like! The initial setup takes about 90 seconds, then all you do is repeat the last step of hitting “write” over and over again taking about 10 seconds each after that. 100 tags should take about 15 minutes to get through with this app, or you can buy a desktop NFC writer on Amazon for $25 and that will shave 10 mins off the process

So good news and bad news. The answer to your question is yes BUT only if you and your friends have android phones. You are able to program the tag with your WiFi username/password with both Apple and android, but only android will connect to WiFi when tapped with no app required, the iPhone won’t even sense the tag as Apple does not allow rogue WiFi connections for security purposes. An Apple phone can detect the tag using an NFC-detecting app but still will not connect, the app will just tell the phone the credentials programmed onto the tag. I prayyyy Apple changes this one day. Great question
