Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities, sasipasu!


If we understand, you purchased NFC tags from Amazon that your iPhone does not recognize. We would be happy to assist in ensuring the device is working as intended!


To start, verify the iPhone NFC is working as expected. You can do this by using Apple Pay, if you have it set up: Make contactless payments using Apple Pay on iPhone - Apple Support.


If Apple Pay works with the NFC on your iPhone, we'll next want to make sure the tags you purchased are compatible with your iPhone. To do this, you will need to reach out to the tag manufacturer.


Best!
