I mean Google Pay works, and that's about it. I used to be able to read RFIDs and emulate my train pass, but it just "doesn't recognize" it.

Beam was a mixture of NFC and Bluetooth/WiFi direct if I recall correctly. So while it isn't going anywhere, a lot of functionality was lost.

I see. Never used NFC for much other than mobile pay, pairing Bluetooth devices and occasionally reading NFC tags for specific tasks. RFID or NFC train passes aren't a thing where I live and I don't think I ever used Beam or something like it with NFC (nowadays there is Nearby Share which is just Bluetooth, I think). So I was confused why you would say Android removed NFC, because for me it works just like it has from the beginning.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
