All iPhones from iPhone 7 and later support NFC reading natively. Most Android phones with NFC (Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, OnePlus, etc.) work as well. For phones without NFC, the QR code printed on every card serves as a universal fallback. Troubleshooting NFC issues →

NFC operates within approximately 1-4 centimeters (about 1.5 inches). Simply hold the card against the back of the phone near the NFC reader area for 1-2 seconds to trigger the tap. On iPhones, the reader is at the top of the device; on most Android phones, it is in the center-back area.

NFC requires a physical tap and works within a few centimeters — fast and smooth. QR codes are scanned with a phone camera from a distance (up to several feet). Our products include both technologies so you always have a way to share: tap when close, scan from afar. Setup guide for both methods →

The chip stores only a URL that links to your Ideal.Bio profile. No personal data is stored on the chip itself. All your information lives securely on our encrypted servers and can be updated at any time from your dashboard. Read our Privacy Policy →

No. NFC chips are passive — they draw power wirelessly from the phone's NFC reader during a tap. There is no battery to charge or replace, and the chip will work for the entire lifespan of the card with zero maintenance.
