NFC transfers
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless technology that lets you quickly
between your phone and other NFC-enabled smartphones, smart
accessories, and smart posters. You can also use NFC to
with your phone.
When you use NFC to communicate with other devices, you do so securely:
•
NFC only works over a short range (a few centimeters), so it's unlikely that you'll connect
by mistake. In order to snag your NFC signal, an eavesdropper would need to be
uncomfortably close to you. And you would still have to accept the connection before
sending or receiving information.
•
Your phone uses the latest security, encryption, and authentication features to protect your
personal information.
•
You can turn off NFC when you’re not using it. But even when NFC is ON, it's automatically
disabled when your phone display is locked.
Along with these safeguards, exchange information only with others you know and trust.
