Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless technology that allows two devices to communicate with each other when they are brought within close proximity. NFC is used for a variety of purposes, such as making payments, exchanging data, and controlling devices. In the previous guide, we’ve learned how to turn on NFC, so, in this guide, let’s learn how to turn it off.
Turning off NFC on Android
To turn off NFC on your device, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap on “Connected devices” or “Wireless & networks”.
- Tap on “NFC”.
- Toggle the switch to the “Off” position.
Turning off NFC on iPhone
Here are the steps to turn off NFC on an iPhone:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap on General.
- Tap on NFC.
- Toggle the NFC switch to Off.
Once you have turned off NFC, your device will no longer be able to communicate with other NFC-enabled devices.
Here are some additional tips for turning off NFC:
- If you don’t use NFC very often, you may want to consider turning it off by default. This will help to save battery life.
- You can also turn off NFC for individual apps. This is useful if you only use NFC with a specific app, such as a payment app.
- If you are concerned about security, you may want to turn off NFC when you are not using it. This will help to protect your device from unauthorized access.
