Apple Pay stopped working

My Apple Pay stopped working - what do I do?

I paid at a cafe, and an hour later, in another shop, it didn't work. Since then, I tried at different vendors, restarted the phone, updated the software, and nothing has helped.

Any advice on what I can do?

Did you already contact your card issuer about that, in case the card has to be activated again?

Are you using a VPN?


If your card is still active and you are not using a VPN on your iPhone, you should contact the official Apple Support and ask them to diagnose your device, which can be don online, in case this is hardware related.
