Turn off nfc if app is closed

[Pesho]

Hello

I want as routine to turn off nfc when I close an app is it possible to be done or I am I missing somethig?

NFC is used across multiple apps, if you don't need it for a specific amount of time you can create a routine to turn it off completely. Currently theres no way to turn it off for individual apps through routine.

You don't even need to keep NFC on.  If an app uses NFC (like Samsung Wallet), it turns on automatically and then shuts off when not in use.  Except for Google Wallet.  If you use Google Wallet, you have to turn the NFC on to pay and then turn it off when you are done (not sure if it turns off automatically after a period of time as NFC is not meant to be on when not in use).

On my S23+, opening Samsung Wallet does not automatically turn on NFC. I had to make a Routine to do that.

I can't speak to that, only my own experience.  I have never manually turned my NFC on or off on my phone or watch.  When I use Samsung pay on my watch or phone, the NFC goes on automatically (I guess, 'cause the payment goes through), and the turns off at some point.  When I chance to look in my quick panel, the NFC is always off.  The only time I am asked to turn NFC on is when I use Google Wallet, so I don't use it. 

I have an A54, previously had an S10 Lite with a watch 4.  I have not had to turn NFC on or off with any of them.

This is the solution I thought of just create a prompt with nfc on or off option and then wait certain time and then turns off automatically

Works for now if anybody is interested

Hey, thanks.  I just created it and modified it a little from yours, since it seems I have to turn NFC on to use Google Wallet and then also turn it off when I'm done (not Samsung, that takes care of itself).  I modified your routine to use Google Wallet and left out the wait time for next action and just used turn on NFC when the app is opened and then used turn of NFC when the routine ends.  So my routine is now

So, when I manually close Google Wallet, the NFC goes off. 

If the OP has multiple apps that turn NFC on and doesn't turn it back off when closed, then they will have to make a routine for each app.
