Open your gallery with a tap
Your ornament has a tiny chip inside that opens your photo gallery on any modern phone.
- 1
Wake up your phone
Make sure the screen is on and unlocked. No app to download.
- 2
Tap it to the ornament
Hold the top of your iPhone, or the middle of the back of an Android phone, against the front of the ornament for a second or two.
- 3
Open your gallery
Tap the notification that pops up, and your gallery opens right in your browser.
Nothing happening?
- Your phone needs an internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular) to load the gallery.
- On Android, check that NFC is turned on — search “NFC” in Settings.
- iPhone XR and newer read the ornament automatically. On older iPhones, open Control Center and tap the NFC reader first.
- Most phone cases are fine, but a thick or metal case can get in the way — try without it if nothing happens.
- Tapping still not working? Scan the QR code on the back of the ornament with your camera instead — it opens the same gallery and works on any phone with a camera.
