NFC scanning fixed!


So….


I just ran into the same issue…my iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 16.5 would not “see” a NFC tag that I was trying to program.


I spent some time on Apple Support Chat who ultimately set me up with higher tier phone support.


Please try this and it may work for you as well.


in Control Panel - General - AirDrop…select Everyone for 10 minutes.


Then attempt to scan the NFC tag/item. The scanning area is at the back of the phone towards the top…so basically hover your camera over the tag.


I hope that this helps.
