In this guide, we will show you the steps to add the NFC Quick Setting tile on your Android device. For many, the stock OS experience that Pixel device beholds is literally the best in the class. Being able to checkmark most of the preresuites without bloating the UI/UX, one couldn’t have asked for more. With that said, there are a few minor shortcomings, which wouldn’t make a difference in day and night but their addition would still have been welcomed by all.
In the past, we have already discussed a few such functionalities, such as the need to hit the checkmark icon after entering the correct PIN and the location of the Clear All button in the Recent apps screen. And now you could add another entry to this list. The inability to quickly enable/disable the NFC feature is really quite an infuriating piece of the missing jigsaw. As of now, you could go to Settings > Connected Devices > Connection Preferences > enable Use NFC.
However, this would call for quite a lot of unnecessary effort. The next approach that you could take is to add the Wallet quick setting toggle but that would require you to launch the Wallet every time you want to interact with NFC. Fortunately, there does exist a nifty workaround using which you could add the NFC Quick Setting tile on your Android device. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. So without further ado, let’s get started.
