I am trying to activate the NFC option on a iPhone X, iOS 16.4.1(a). But when I go to Pilot Submenu NFC is not an option. EWeLink version 4.31.0

Have I missed a step somewhere or do I need to install something else?

Region: Mexico

Thanks!

Hi there, as only iPhone XS and later support background tag reading, NFC is only available to these models, too.
