Apple Pay unresponsive

Double tap on apple pay not working. Nothing wrong with the button as it works fine on other applications . But just not responding when I try to pay for anything?


tried the usual steps of turning phone off etc. Still the same!🤯

Have you had the same experience at multiple merchants or just one? If it’s occurred at multiple merchant locations the next step is to have diagnostics performed on your iPhone. Pay particular attention to the NFC module as this is the most likely issue.


Diagnostics can be done in person at an Apple Retail Store or at an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can also contact Apple Support and request remote diagnostics.
