Frequently asked questions

What is NFC? Does my phone have it?

It is the same technology used for contactless payments. All iPhones from the XS onwards and most Android smartphones have it: on Android, if it is not already enabled, you can turn it on in settings.

Do I need to download an app or create an account?

No. The tag opens the J.Rose page directly in your browser. To upload your message, you only need your email address: you receive an OTP code and enter it.

Who can view the message?

With open access, anyone who holds their smartphone near the tag. With protected access, only those who know the password.

Can I edit the message after saving it?

No. Before confirming, you can review and change everything; after saving, the message stays as it is.

What if the recipient forgets the password?

The password cannot be recovered, but the person who created the message can set a new one at any time.

How much does it cost?

Uploading your message is free: there is nothing to pay beyond the bottle with the NFC tag.

The tag is not being read: what should I do?

Remove the case, hold your phone near the bottom of the front of the bottle, and keep it still for a few seconds. On Android, check that NFC is enabled. If the problem persists, write to info@jrose.it.
