Using NFC

With built-in NFC (near field communication) on HTC U11, you can share content to another NFC-capable mobile device in an instant.
Note: The availability of NFC varies by phone model, region, and country.
Beam webpages, photos, contact information, and more by holding HTC U11 and the other device back to back.

You must turn NFC on to use Android Pay™. For details about Android Pay™, see android.com/pay.

Turning NFC on or off

  1. From the Home screen, swipe up and then find and tap Settings.
  2. Tap More, and then tap the NFC On/Off switch to turn it on and off.

Beaming content

Important: Make sure that both devices are unlocked and have NFC turned on. If the other device has an Android Beam option, make sure it is also turned on.
  1. While viewing the content that you want to share, hold HTC U11 and the other phone back to back.

    Make sure that the NFC area (shaded part) of HTC U11 and the other phone's NFC area are close to one another. Experiment by slightly moving the phones until a connection is made.

  2. When HTC U11 vibrates, tap the screen to send the content to the other device.
The shared content appears on the other screen. For some items that you've shared (such as contact information), additional instructions on how to save the item will appear on the receiving device.
