For your security:
Your smartphone uses the latest
security, encryption, and authentication features to
protect your personal information for content sharing.
NFC only works over a short range (about
4 cm/1.5 inches), so it's unlikely you’ll connect by
mistake—if you do, you’ll still have to accept the
connection to send or receive information.
