Where is the NFC antenna on my phone?
Boco Toy connects to your phone using NFC. NFC works only when your phone's NFC antenna is very close to the NFC tag inside the toy.
The location of the NFC antenna differs between Apple and Android devices.
On iPhone, the NFC antenna is on the back of the phone near the top. To read the NFC tag, place the top edge of the back of the iPhone on the Boco NFC area.
On Android phones, the NFC antenna location depends on the manufacturer and model. It is often near the camera or in the middle of the back of the phone. To connect with Boco Toy, place the back of your phone over the Boco NFC area and hold it steadily in place.
