Solution 1: Enabling NFC on your device

NFC is a prominent feature available on Huawei Mate 20 Pro. It is a form of wireless communication to share data and information to and from your device. But, if you're using Huawei Mate 20 Pro for the first time, there is a possibility that the NFC feature is not enabled. To enable NFC on your phone, follow the steps below:

  1. Unlock your phone
  2. Find Settings and tap on it
  3. Click on "Device Connectivity"
  4. Tap on "NFC"
  5. Turn on NFC
  6. Press the Home key to return to the home screen.

Solution 2: Restarting the device

Another way to fix the NFC issue is to restart the device. Restarting the device can fix issues like a bug or technical glitches in NFC. Here's how you can restart your Mate 20 Pro.

  1. Press and hold the Power key until the power menu appears on the screen
  2. Tap the icon "Restart"
  3. Upon confirmation, your device will restart.

Then, check if the NFC issue has been resolved. If not, you can move to other options.

Solution 3: Updating the phone

It may be possible that your phone does not have the latest Huawei software version. The outdated software may be the cause that NFC is not working correctly. To update your phone to the latest software version, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings

  3. Select Software update
  4. Wait for a few seconds while the system searches for new updates

After updating, check that NFC is now working correctly; otherwise, move to the next solution.

Solution 4: Uninstalling the Google Pay App

Sometimes NFC stops working due to the Google Pay app. First, try to reboot your phone and clear the Google Pay app cache in the app area. If the problem still exists, try to uninstall the Google Pay app, reboot the phone, and reinstall the Google Pay app to check for the issue. To uninstall the app, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Play store.
  2. Find the Google Pay app by clicking the three lines near the search bar.
  3. Select "My apps & games."
  4. Tap 'Installed.'
  5. Find and Uninstall the Google Pay app.
