Am nfc tag popped up on my phone but I have no other devices around?

This nfc tag detected notification popped up while I was inside my house, however there’s no other electronic devices in my room besides a Nintendo switch and a tv.

From my understanding you have to be within a close radius for your phone to scan a nfc tag.. Any ideas on what this is and how it happened?

My phone is running on the latest iOS…

Hey there bon36,


We understand you're seeing an alert indicating that an NFC tag was detected. We'd be happy to provide information about this.


If you carry a debit or credit card with you in the same pocket as your iPhone, it's possible that it's detecting it. The NFC tag would have to be directly in contact with your iPhone in order to trigger this alert.


Regards.
