NFC (Near Field Communication) tags are versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes in personal, business, and industrial settings. I have listed below my Top 5 Uses for NFC Tags.

1. Contactless Business Cards

• Store contact information on NFC tags to share with others instantly.
  • When tapped, the tag opens your contact details on the other person’s phone, allowing them to save it directly.
    I use Smart Cards for my business card it gives me complete branding control and usage reports after events or meetings. There are a host of free options available such as Linktr.ee or Unit Link

2. Wi-Fi Sharing

• Store your Wi-Fi credentials on an NFC tag.
  • Guests can tap the tag to connect to your Wi-Fi network without typing in a password. This allows you to easily change your access code and reset your tags with the NFC tools app.
