I have a iPhone 14 on 16.6. Please tell me I can turn on NFC reading while in airplane mode. I bought a bunch of NFC tags to do automations around my house, but will be useless because I leave phone in airplane mode at home. Please fix Apple or let me know what I’m missing.
iPhone 14, iOS 16
There is nothing to fix, airplane mode shuts off outgoing radio signals. NFC needs to send out radio signals for two way communication with the other device.
Why do you have airplane mode on at your house?
No one here in this user to user forum can answer why Apple set it up this way.
You can make a suggestion to Apple here -
I need this as well. Just the NFC "read" functionality while in airplane mode for basic in house-tag-automation.
I don't need NFC "send" functionality.
In Shortcuts app, NFC read is clearly functional while in airplane mode. Why it is not functioning elsewhere in airplane mode.
I have bad reception and it’s more reliable to use WiFi calling in airplane mode. Why can I toggle WiFi and Bluetooth in airplane mode, but not NFC?
