When tapping your phone to a Burner, it’s important to know where your phone’s NFC reader is located. The placement varies depending on the brand and model. Below is a quick reference guide to help you find the right spot.
Note: Individual models may vary slightly from the general placement shown here. When in doubt, try a quick Google search: “[Your phone model] NFC reader location”
Tips:
Remove thick phone cases or metal accessories when tapping.
Don’t remove your phone too quickly. Hold it in place for a moment to ensure the NFC connection has time to register.
Gently move your phone around if the card isn’t recognized immediately—small adjustments can help.
If you’re having trouble, reboot your phone and try again.
