Hold Together isn’t working
With Hold Together, your cards go directly from iPhone to iPhone. A few things need to be right for that.
Check this on both iPhones
- Nodbase is installed and signed in. If the other person doesn’t have Nodbase, show them your QR code.
- The app is open and in front, and the iPhone is unlocked.
- The iPhones are very close together, just a few centimeters, for a short moment.
- Local network is allowed. Nodbase asks the first time. If you declined, allow it in iOS Settings under Nodbase › Local Network.
iPhones without Ultra Wideband
If your iPhone can’t detect proximity, the other iPhone appears in a list. Tap Give there.
Nothing happens
If Nodbase doesn’t find an iPhone with Nodbase after a few seconds, it shows Doesn't the other person have Nodbase? Show them the QR code. Tap Show QR Code. See Share your card with a QR code.
