The news of Samsung's NFC stickers wrapped on its Samsung Galaxy S4 batteries is making rounds in various social media not for its intended purpose, but for a malicious observation posted by a user saying that it is a government surveillance device.

According to Android Police, the user of the smartphone implied that the NFC sticker was deliberately attached to the battery in order for them to steal your photos and communications on your mobile phone. Android Central, on the other hand, has put a lid on the claims saying, "no one is using a little sticker hidden in your battery to spy on you, no matter what Facebook tells you."

The video that has been surrounding the social media Facebook was dubbed as disturbing and malicious. Android Central explained that the NFC stickers are "chips that are regularly sealed in plastic on the backs of the phone or, in Samsung's case, baked right into the battery so you will most likely to buy a Samsung made battery when the need arose." The problem with not knowing what these technologies do to the daily lives of its users is reportedly the fact that they can be mistakenly considered as something risky and malicious.

Citing multiple reports, users are being adviced to not attempt to pull off the sticker, or let someone else remove it from the batteries as attempting to do so can create greater risk on a malfunctioning battery. The public was also reassured that no one is stealing their information through a simple NFC sticker connected to the battery of their smartphone.

This latest rumor on spying conspiracy has proved to be "utterly false." In the video that has been making rounds all over Facebook, a man tries to peel off the sticker while uttering "they're recording every photo of yours through your battery." Repeatedly, he said, "you should take this off because they're recording every of your photographs, this should not be on your phone battery.. they're recording every single thing of yours."

The video on Facebook has received thousands of views despite having similar videos on other social media online, claiming the same thing.
