Reading and writing the 13.56 MHz RFID cards

I have 13,56 MHz Mifare RFID cards, and I want to read/write on them. I have an iPhone SE (2020) and I can't seem to get the "NFC Tools" app to find them. When using the shortcuts app (Shortcuts > automation > New automation > personal automation > NFC) I was able to scan all of them successfully, so there shouldn't be technical limit bacause my phone can clearly detect them? So why I can’t scan the cards with the ”NFC Tools” app?

iPhone SE, iOS 16

SOLVED!


Alright, I got it working. I used an Android phone with ”NFC Tools” -app to scan and write data on those cards. After that I was able to scan them with the same app on my iPhone.

Can the iPhone SE 2nd gen successfully read (other) tags without using an app? (Given your comments, yes…)

Try reading and writing some other tags from a different source? (Given your comments, seemingly yes…)


Contact the app vendor, too. (NFC tools) (Seems the app might be having some issues here?)
