How to write your MYZO link to an NFC tag

Writing your profile to an NFC tag takes about 30 seconds the first time. You only need three things: an Android phone with Chrome (writing requires Chrome or Edge on Android, this is a browser limitation), a writable NFC tag, and your MYZO account.

Step 1: Get a writable NFC tag

Not every NFC chip is writable, but the common consumer tags are. Search any marketplace for one of these:

  • NTAG213 — cheapest, holds enough for any URL, perfect for stickers
  • NTAG215 — slightly more memory, the one most people buy
  • NTAG216 — largest memory, overkill for a single URL but fine

Expect to pay €0.30 to €1 per tag in packs of 10 or more. They come as round stickers, key fobs, plastic cards, even washable laundry tags.

Step 2: Open the writer

On your Android phone in Chrome, sign in to MYZO and go to:

Dashboard → NFC tag

You will see your profile URL ready to be written.

Step 3: Write the tag

  1. Tap Write tag.
  2. The phone is now in writing mode for about 20 seconds.
  3. Hold the blank NFC tag flat against the back of your phone.
  4. Most phones have the NFC antenna in the middle or top third of the back. Move the tag around if nothing happens.
  5. You will see a success message and the writer turns off.

That is it. The tag now contains your MYZO link permanently.

Step 4: Test it

  1. Lock your phone (very important, the writer can interfere with reading).
  2. Tap the tag against the back of your locked phone.
  3. A notification should pop up offering to open myzo.link/yourname.

If the notification opens your profile, the tag is good to go.

Troubleshooting

  • Nothing happens when writing: try a different spot on the back of the phone, NFC antenna placement varies by model.
  • Tag writes but reads as empty: the tag may already be locked, try a fresh one.
  • Tag reads on Android but not iPhone: iPhones since the XS read tags by default, older models or iPhones in some countries need NFC enabled in Settings.

What if I do not have an Android?

The writing step needs Chrome on Android. After that, the tag can be read by any phone, including iPhones. If you only have an iPhone, ask a friend with an Android to do the writing for you, or use the NFC Tools app on iOS as a workaround.
