iPhone and Android NFC
The short answer before you search
1Card shares a web profile through NFC or QR. NFC is the fastest tap-to-share path on compatible phones, while the QR code keeps the card useful for older phones, disabled NFC, and models where NFC support varies by region.
Android NFC business cards
Many Samsung Galaxy, Pixel, OnePlus, Nothing, Motorola, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo phones work when NFC is enabled. Some budget or regional variants omit NFC, so confirm the exact phone model below.
No app required to receive
The other person does not need a 1Card app before opening your profile. NFC opens the same web profile as the printed QR code, so the card still works when NFC is unavailable.
