Tap & share

Where to tap on each phone

Hold the card flat on the back of the other person's phone for 1–2 seconds. Your profile opens in their browser – they don't need any app.

iPhone

  • iPhone XR and newer: tap near the top edge on the back. Screen must be on.
  • iPhone 7 – X: open Control Centre, tap NFC Tag Reader, then tap the card.
Hotspot: top of the phone, near the camera.

Android

  • Turn on NFC: Settings → Connected devices → NFC (name varies by brand).
  • Tap the centre of the back. On some phones it's near the camera – slide slowly to find it.
Thick or metal phone cases can block the tap.

No NFC? Scan the QR

Every QLEM card has a QR code on the back. Open the phone camera, point it at the code and tap the link. Same profile, any phone.

Works on every phone with a camera.

It opens old details

Edit your profile in the app or dashboard. Changes sync to the card automatically – there's nothing to reset on the card.

Their phone has no NFC

Ask them to scan the QR code on the back of your card with the camera. It opens the same profile.
