what is nfc in mobile phone

NFC stands for Near Field Communication, which is a wireless communication technology that allows devices to automatically link up and talk to each other when in close proximity. NFC transmissions are short-range and require the devices to be in close proximity, typically within a few centimeters. NFC allows users to share small payloads of data between an NFC tag and an Android-powered device, or between two Android-powered devices. The most common use of NFC technology in smartphones is making easy payments with mobile payment services like Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Apple Pay. NFC can also be used to quickly connect with wireless devices and transfer data with Android Beam. To use NFC on a mobile phone, users need to enable it in the phones settings.
