Tag May Be Restricted

Hello,

Since a few days I receive the above message at the bottom of my home screen in random intervals.

Spoke with Samsung support and they asked me to do a soft reset which did not help.

Apologies if this is a super basic question but I'm new to Android after having been an iPhone user since the original iPhone was released.

Many thanks!

Finally solved this issue and thought I post it for everyone's benefit. It turns out that the NFC of the phone constantly tried to connect with the chip inside the LED case. The chip is located underneath a sticker. Once removing the sticker, the error messages disappeared.

[klasmeister]

Shisan, are you using a case or do you have a contactless payment or access card close to the phone?

So I can't get any card near to it?

 

[klasmeister]

For me that is correct, at least for contactless payment and access cards.
