Google Pixel Devices Hit with Widespread NFC Bug

Reports have emerged of an NFC bug affecting Google Pixel devices, preventing users from making contactless payments.

The issue affects multiple models, including the Pixel 8 and Pixel 11 Pro XL, and is not limited to the Pixel 11 as previously thought.

Users have reported that their NFC payments are no longer working, whether through the Google Wallet app or at automatic transit terminals.

The problem is believed to be related to a software update, with some users noting that NFC still works in other functions but not for payments.
