Very recently a video has become viral that the battery of smartphones contains a chip which acts a spy chip. Whatever you watch on internet gets downloaded or uploaded on it whereby anyone can retrieve your personal data thus unveiling whatever you have or watched like videos. Pakistanis have started detaching this chip and throwing it away, we are here to tell you this is a hoax. These are the NFC chips and we will explain why they should belong to your smartphones.

NFC stands for Near Field Communication. It is an evolution of RFID. It is basically required for transfer of data between two devices also it helps in triggering few profiles entering the system when you walk in your home or office to eliminating the need for customers to enter a WiFi password in shops.

The next thing NFC will do is to manage you payment thus replacing the current plastic cards. NFC is the key technology in making that happen. We could go on but let’s save that for another day and just agree that NFC chips most certainly aren’t spy chips.

It is very important that you should verify everything you listen and watch in videos because there are people out there who get off on making others miserable, and the gullible among us are a target and a great source of amusement for them.  And next time, if you hear something like strange post queries on any tech page on Facebook and Twitter to save you smartphone from ragging.
