new configurations and functionalities incorporated into contemporary Android devices that it’s genuinely effortless to miss some of them — even when they’re engaged. Indeed, they may display a notification in the tray or in the upper bar, but you might not identify a few of them. One instance of this is the green dot on your Android device’s display. Another is when you spot an annoying ‘N’ icon that shows up sporadically. The icon you are observing is associated with the NFC feature, which stands for Near Field Communication.
The NFC feature is accountable for that convenient tap function that enables you to use tap-to-pay at certain payment terminals. When this feature is enabled, the N icon consistently remains visible in the notification tray. However, depending on the device, the icon may appear and disappear intermittently. On a Samsung device, for instance, it vanishes until the notification tray is drawn down or until NFC is actively utilized.
