Near Field Communication (NFC) is quite handy for transferring data between two devices.

Whether you want to send or receive photos, videos or other files, the NFC feature on your HUAWEI smartphone is the answer for you. You can forget about the hassle of pairing and establishing complicated connections by simply touching two NFC-compatible devices.

Set up the connection between devices

Place the NFC detection areas of two devices close together to quickly establish a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection between them.
Using Bluetooth pairing as an example, enable NFC, Huawei Beam, and the Bluetooth on both devices. Open the Bluetooth pairing screen on both devices and place the NFC detection areas close together.

When the sending device plays an audio prompt and the content on the screen shrinks, follow the onscreen instructions to establish a Bluetooth connection.

*If there is a Read and write/P2P switch on the NFC screen, make sure it is also enabled. Features may vary depending on your carrier. Also, keep in mind that not all devices support NFC, please check the website for more information.

Use NFC to send data

If you want to share data between two HUAWEI devices, open the Settings, touch Device connectivity and enable NFC and then Huawei Beam on both devices. Select the files you want to send and go to Share > Huawei Beam.

While paying attention to your phone's screen (neither of the devices should be asleep or locked), place the NFC detection areas of both devices close together. Once a connection is established, the transmitting device will play an audio alert and minimize the sharing screen.

Touch the transmitting device's screen to send files. Received files are saved by default to the Beam folder of your Files.
