Troubleshooting: Why Can't I Find the NFC Icon on My Tecno A21s

Are you wondering why you can't find the NFC icon on your Tecno A21s phone? Don't worry, this guide will help you understand why this might be the case and suggest a solution that will allow you to access NFC settings and state through a widget.

Understanding NFC on the Tecno A21s

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a technology that allows two devices to exchange data when they are in close proximity to each other, typically just a few centimeters apart. If you don't see the NFC icon on your phone, it's likely because it's not available as a standalone icon in the system UI.

Why Isn't the NFC Icon Visible?

The absence of the NFC icon on your Tecno A21s could be due to several reasons:

The phone may not have NFC hardware installed. The NFC feature may be disabled within the phone settings. The NFC feature might not be enabled by default in the system UI, and no NFC widget is installed.

Using an NFC Widget

One way to still access NFC settings and state is by using an NFC widget, which can be installed on the home screen of your Tecno A21s. An NFC widget typically allows you to check the NFC state and even enable or disable the feature with a single tap.

How to Download an NFC Widget

Navigate to the Google Play Store on your(device). Search for "NFC Widget" in the search bar. Look for a reputable app and read reviews to ensure it has a good track record and security ratings. Once you've chosen an app, tap the " Install" button to begin the download and installation process. After the installation is complete, tap the app icon to open the widget chooser. Add the NFC widget to your home screen. It will usually be pre-configured to display the NFC state, and it can be configured to allow you to enable and disable the feature from the home screen.

Enabling the NFC Feature

Here are the steps to enable the NFC feature through the setting app, which you can access via the NFC widget:

Go to Settings Connected Devices. Select NFC from the list of connected devices. Turn the toggle switch to the On position to enable NFC.

Checking the NFC State

Using the NFC widget, you can easily check whether your NFC is enabled or disabled:

Open the NFC widget on your home screen. If the widget is not yet installed, follow the steps above to download and install one. Tap the widget to view the current state of NFC. You will see a green checkmark or a cross depending on the state. To change the state, simply tap the widget to access the NFC settings directly from the home screen.

Conclusion

While finding the NFC icon directly on your Tecno A21s may not be possible, using an NFC widget is a practical solution to manage NFC settings. Install the widget from the Google Play Store, enable NFC in the settings, and start using your device's NFC function even if the icon is not visible.
