I see. Never used NFC for much other than mobile pay, pairing Bluetooth devices and occasionally reading NFC tags for specific tasks. RFID or NFC train passes aren’t a thing where I live and I don’t think I ever used Beam or something like it with NFC (nowadays there is Nearby Share which is just Bluetooth, I think). So I was confused why you would say Android removed NFC, because for me it works just like it has from the beginning.
Android got rid of NFC and Beam
NFC isn’t going anywhere, what are you on about?
I mean Google Pay works, and that’s about it. I used to be able to read RFIDs and emulate my train pass, but it just “doesn’t recognize” it.
Beam was a mixture of NFC and Bluetooth/WiFi direct if I recall correctly. So while it isn’t going anywhere, a lot of functionality was lost.
