Recently i came across a viral video on Facebook claiming that the government has a surveillance chip inside your battery, The video shows a man peeling off the label of his mobile battery to reveal a chip inside
To most of us tech savvy people its just one of those ridiculous videos that keep popping up on the internet, But due to recent concerns over "Illegal Government Surveillance" videos like this, Can confuse some people
So for those of you who think that the government has somehow manged to sneak a chip into every mobile battery, let me ease your mind, Leave that battery alone!!!
That's not a surveillance chip its called a Near field communication (NFC) chip
NFC chips are usually placed on the back of phone case or inside the battery like in batteries manufactured by Samsung, Not a lot of people are aware of this and get confused
So please don't try to peel of the NFC chip, There is actually a risk of damaging your battery, The chip is harmless it doesn't transmit anything its not suppose to, In fact it can be quite useful.
