What Data Can Be Shared with NFC?
Situation: You are wondering what data you can share using NFC.
Applicable to: OPPO Devices that has NFC feature.
* The NFC feature availability may vary across phone models, regions and mobile network carriers.
Share a contact
NFC allows users to send phone numbers and contact details to another phone without having to enter details manually. To do this, open the contact you want to share, touch the phones together and tap to beam. The contact you send will be saved to the other device's contact list.
Send an image or a video
To send a photo or other image on your phone to another device, open the image in your preferred image app, place the devices together, then tap to send when prompted.
Send a document
If you want to send an eBook, PDF or another document, you can use Android Beam. Find the document on your smartphone, then open the [Settings] menu and select [Share] > [Android Beam]. Place the devices within range and the file will transfer. Simply touching the devices together may send the document reader app rather than the document itself.
Share an app
You can't send an app directly to someone else's phone, but when you open the app and touch your phones together, you can direct them to the app on the Play Store so they can install it themselves. If the other phone already has an app installed, you can open it by beaming the app from your phone.
Send mobile payments
You will need to download Google Pay to make mobile payments over NFC. Install the app and make sure your payment details are saved, then hold your phone close to a contactless payment terminal and tap to pay.
Turn off NFC when not using and in public places to save battery and avoid possible security risks.
