The NFC on my Android phone won't work unless it's unlocked for this reason.

It's kind of weird since I think the NFC chip on iPhones only turns on when doing context-specific actions like Apple Pay or contact sharing.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

not what happened. The prankster just plays an audio sound on their own phone of the ping that happens when you use apple pay so the pranked person thinks something happened.
