NFC is automatically enabled on my phone
| NFC is automatically enabled on my phone |
NFC is automatically enabled each time I unlock my phone using a fingerprint.
You may have selected the same fingerprint for unlocking your phone and opening HUAWEI Wallet quick pay.
To resolve this issue, open HUAWEI Wallet>My>Settings, search for and access HUAWEI Wallet quick pay, and disable this feature or select another fingerprint for this feature. For example, you can use fingerprint 1 to unlock your phone and select fingerprint 2 for opening HUAWEI Wallet quick pay.
NFC automatically turns on when pressing the Power button to unlock my phone.
You may have set the double-tap shortcut for the Wallet app, which will open the payment screen when you double-tap the Power button. In this case, if you press the Power button twice by accident when unlocking your phone, NFC will automatically turn on.
To disable the double-tap shortcut, go to , and toggle the switch off.
