How many times have we gone to pay with our mobile through NFC and it took a long time to activate it or then it took us a long time to deactivate it. There are many people who prefer to disconnect the NFC so that they do not spend that little extra battery that they carry along the way or even to feel safer with this technology that always accompanies us.
But nevertheless the problem is in the time it takes us to invest in starting it up and stopping it especially, since when we enter the mobile payments app it is activated instantly. A situation that only occurs in the Android landscape, since in iOS, it is impossible to choose to deactivate the NFC that is always alert waiting for a dataphone on which to pay if we do not have problems with this technology.
Configure your accesses for the benefit of NFC
To optimize our time and have the NFC always within reach of a quick gesture, what we must do is give it priority in the quick access bar. A process that is as simple as editing the position of our control panel. We will be able to do this on all Android phones, regardless of the version or customization layer we have.
The appearance may be different, but the reality is the same. You just have to lower the notification curtain and slide again to see all the configured buttons. Sliding to the right, we will end up seeing a pencil or button to edit with which to change the position of all the controls . We have to locate the NFC and move it by dragging to the top, so that it is in the row of the main shortcuts.
In this way we will ensure that we do not have to rummage through the settings or that we have to slide panels and option panels to turn off the NFC when we do not need it again.
Use it with a gesture, even without unlocking it!
Now every time we want to turn off this technology we will only have to lower the quick access panel, activate it and do the same to turn off the NFC instantly on our mobile. If you put it to the test, you will see that we can do this even with the smartphone locked, without using a PIN or security methods that would take us longer to access the terminal.
Just by lowering the bar and touching the button, the NFC will do what we ask of it. However, if we also want to use this to turn it on, we will have to obligatorily unlock the smartphone, since it is a bank security measure so that only we can make the payment with NFC.
