Pixel 4a w. GrapheneOS, but I’m pretty sure I had that too on the stock ROM
Edit: OK, WTF. Apparently I misremember it or I actually had a version with that toggle. Some say it has been removed and some say it never was there in the first place. I know that you can’t really rely on memory, but I could swear it was there on Android 10 or 11
I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch, it has a button for that too. But also the Wallet app on the watch has to be manually opened to use it anyways, it’s not passive background app. I think I might just disable NFC on my phone and stick to using my watch for payments.
Turn off NFC unless you are using it at that moment.
Woah, first I learned of this. https://www.lifewire.com/turn-off-nfc-to-secure-your-android-smartphone-2532822
Kinda sucks that there’s no quick button for that. I can turn off Bluetooth, wireless, auto-rotate, etc in a single setting but not NFC?
I’m so envious of you. I don’t have that.
I don’t have NFC at all. Ultimate safety.
Sad
Which system do you have, with the NFC quick toggle?

I have a pixel 7 with android 13 and the NFC toggle is not on the quick buttons
Apparently they removed it or it never was there in the first place on AOSP
P7P with Android 13, I don’t have it. Wonder why it was removed…
I have it on Android 13 on my Motorola.
I can confirm it’s there on Galaxy S7 with Android 8
Many Samsung devices have a quick button for NFC toggling in their drop down menu, not sure about other phones though.

You can try using Tasker to create a task that turns on NFC and launches Google Wallet / Pay afterwards.
After that, create another profile to turn off NFC when the screen is locked.
You can diasble all sensors and make a quick button for it in dev settings, dont remember how exactly it is called tho
