Hello, I found that my iPhone 11 doesn't have 'NFC Tag...' in the setting. I buy it from machine malaysia.

Apparently for devices newer than the iPhone XS do not have the NFC Tag option in the Control Center as it is always turned on.


The option only appears for older devices. For yours, just bring a NFC tag in contact to the top left of your phone (facing you), and it should read the NFC tag automatically.

Another option if you want a bit of more manual control, you can setup a personal automation.  Automations + Create Personal Automation > NFC
