ULTRALOQ Updates Bolt NFC to Support Android Tap-to-Unlock

ULTRALOQ, a best-selling smart lock brand under Xthings, announced a major update to its Bolt NFC smart lock that brings seamless NFC tap-to-unlock functionality for the vast majority of Android smartphone users. This update dramatically expands the lock's convenient user experience to nearly all smartphone users, and strengthens its position as the most platform-inclusive smart lock available.

At launch, the Bolt NFC was recognized for its native Apple Home Key integration. This update now ensures that Android users can also enjoy fast, key-free entry with a simple tap of their smartphone. By extending NFC support across both iOS and Android, ULTRALOQ continues to lead in building a lock that adapts to every household.

Key Enhancement Details

    Broad Android NFC Compatibility: Tap-to-unlock now works across nearly all NFC-enabled Android devices.

    Tap-and-Go Entry: Android users can unlock without opening an app or waking the screen. A quick tap is all it takes.

    Platform Flexibility: To optimize the experience, Android users may need to adjust NFC settings (e.g., default NFC app selection). This ensures smooth unlocking while continuing to support popular wallet apps for payments.

    Future-Ready Security: On Android 16 and higher, users can turn off "Require device unlock for NFC" to enable true one-tap entry, balancing speed and security to fit individual preference.
