How to…

  • Ensure you mobile device is NFC enabled. Tap you phone on the bead part of the Smarty Bean. This will trigger the link to the beans profile.

  • Spin the bean, the chip is embedded in the bead and you might not be close enough to the chip to read it. If you have a large phone case this might be blocking the NFC reader.

  • Unfortunately Smarty Beans NFC Tap requires NFC, if the NFC feature isn’t available you can visit app.smartybeans.io and enter the code on the back of the charm to find the pets profile.

    Smarty Beans work on Android and iPhone 7+.
