iPhone will not write, or the data does not fit

iPhones mainly read NFC, so do the first write on an Android phone. If the app says the data does not fit, use a shorter link.

iPhone will not write

  • iPhones are built mainly to read NFC. First-time writing often fails on them.
  • Use any Android phone with NFC for the first write. After that the card reads fine on iPhone.
  • On iPhone, NFC Tools needs iPhone XS or newer.

Data does not fit

  • The chip memory is small. Long links and large contact records may not fit.
  • Use a shorter link, or shorten it with a link shortener first.
  • Choose a smaller record type, for example a link instead of a full contact.
