NFC Hotspot - The Ultimate FAQs Guide With Answers

NFC is a widely used technology that can be used for a variety of purposes, including cashless purchases, concert admission, and more. However, I'll show you how to use it as a hotspot today. I'll also walk you through the entire process of setting up a Hotspot on your smartphone. Let's get this party started.

Can you use NFC as a hotspot?

You can use your smartphone as a hotspot, but you won't be able to do so with your smartphone. Instead, you'll need an NFC Tag, which you can write on and then use to turn on your smartphone's hotspot.

Here's how to turn on your smartphone's hotspot using the NFC tag. Before I go into detail about the process, it's worth noting that you can turn on the hotspot on your smartphone even if you don't have an NFC tag. On the other hand, NFC Tags have the advantage of being programmable to perform a variety of activities, like turning on your smartphone's hotspot. Let's get started with the procedure.

Step 1: The first step is to obtain NFC Tags, which you can obtain from Amazon or your local grocery.

Step 2: After you've obtained the NFC Tags, you'll need to download and install the "NFC Smart Q" App, which you'll use to program the NFC Tag.

3rd Step: After downloading the app and purchasing the NFC tags, turn on NFC on your phone and launch the app.

4th Step: Go to the Write Tag part of the program, and you'll see a list of activities you may assign to your NFC Tag. Find "Wi-Fi Hotspot Toggle," tap it, then confirm your decision to enable the hotspot. Other operations you may perform with the NFC Tag include setting the alarm, making a phone call, enabling silence mode, turning on Bluetooth, and more.

Step 5: You're now ready to use NFC Tag to turn on your smartphone's hotspot. Place the NFC Tag behind your smartphone to enable a hotspot. Similarly, place the NFC Tag behind the phone if you want to disable it.

That's how you can use NFC Tag to turn your smartphone into a hotspot. Suppose the above technique fails for whatever reason. In that case, you can try Trigger App, which is an excellent alternative for rooted users. Here's how to utilize the Trigger app to turn your smartphone into a hotspot.

Step 1: Make sure your smartphone has NFC enabled and that your NFC Tag is operational.

Step 2: Click the green + icon in the lower right corner of the Trigger App to open it. Now touch Next after selecting the NFC section. You can set constraints in the following area, such as which days it should work, how long it should last, and so on. Tap "Done" when you're finished with your choices.

Step 3: After you've finished creating the trigger, it's time to turn it on. After that, press the "Next" button and choose the action you wish to take. For example, to enable a hotspot, go to "Wireless & Networks" and tick "Wi-Fi Hotspot." You'll be prompted to input your Wi-Fi password and then tap "Add Task" in the next step.

Step 4: To write the NFC Tag, place it near your smartphone and follow the on-screen instructions. That is all there is to it.
