Daily reminder to leave NFC off and only turn it on when needed since Google Pay and other apps seem to have no concept of only being used when the app is explicitly open.

I've had it twice now where I was standing a little too close to the tap-to-pay terminal on the bus since it was nearly full, and it counted that I "tapped" in again. This is while I was still a full nearly 5 inches away, browsing a completely different app.

Not to mention, how is this not a setting in google pay or the quick menu??? Google removed NFC toggle from the quick menu so you need to turn it off, otherwise it feels like someone could just "tap" to steal money from your unlocked phone from 6+ inches away. Baffling to me.
