Frequently Asked Questions
NFC isn’t scanning on Android—what should I check?
Confirm your phone supports NFC and that NFC is ON (Settings → Connections → NFC). Try tapping near the camera area; some phones read best there. Remove your phone case to see if that helps. Then once you determine where you need to tap, you should be able to tap with the case on.
The app didn’t log an event after I tapped.
Open SpotoMates → give permissions (NFC/Notifications/Calendar if used). Make sure the Spot is linked to the tag (Create → Choose a Spot → Link Tag → Tap tag → Save). Then tap again.
Do I need to keep the app open?
No, but do keep battery optimization off for SpotoMates if you use background features: Settings → Apps → SpotoMates → Battery → Unrestricted.
