NFC is a utomatically 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 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 Wallet > Me > Shortcuts, and toggle the switch off.
NFC automatically turns on when opening Wallet.
You may have set the Wallet app to automatically enable NFC each time it starts up. To disable this function, open Settings, search for and access Apps, and go to Wallet > Storage > CLEAR DATA. Then open the Wallet app again. Select CANCEL when a prompt is displayed indicating you to enable NFC automatically each time you open the Wallet app.
NFC automatically turns on when opening some third-party apps
Some third-party apps invoke the UnionPay plug-in that is installed on your phone when opening them, which enables NFC automatically. To resolve this issue, perform the following:
- Update the UnionPay plug-in to its latest version: Go to Settings, search for and access Apps, find the plug-in, and touch Uninstall. Then open Wallet/Wallet (close Wallet if it is already open). After that, an update screen will be displayed when you open the app. Touch Download to complete the update.
- Update your phone system to EMUI 9.1 or later.
If your phone cannot be updated to EMUI 9.1 or later, manually disable NFC.
