Find your NFC settings
The NFC feature might not be available, depending on your wireless service provider, your administrator's settings, and
your BlackBerry device model.
You can set whether your BlackBerry device prompts you before sending or receiving files. You can also set when your
device can be used for doing things such as making credit card payments or providing access credentials to get into a
building.
1. On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.
2.
Tap Image Settings > Networks and Connections > NFC.
Remove or reset a default NFC app
The NFC feature might not be available, depending on your wireless service provider, your administrator's settings, and
your BlackBerry device model.
Multiple NFC apps on your device might use the same app ID that an NFC reader requests. Your device prompts you to set
one of the apps as the default app for the NFC reader. You can remove and change the default app setting.
1. On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.
2. Tap Settings > App Manager.
3. Tap Card Emulation Apps or Default Apps.
4. Do one of the following:
• To remove the app as the default app for the NFC reader, tap the checkbox beside the default app and tap The
Remove Selected Default icon
.
• To reset your device to use the factory settings for default apps, tap The Reset Defaults icon .
5. The next time you use the NFC reader, set the appropriate app as the default app.
Troubleshooting: NFC
The wrong app opens when I use an NFC reader
The wrong app might open because it is set as the default app to use with an NFC reader.
You might need to remove or reset the default app for the NFC reader. Tap Settings > App Manager > Default Apps to
remove the app as the default app for the NFC reader. The next time you tap your device against the NFC reader, set the
preferred app as the default app.
