Unable to use Apple Pay on iPhone 14

Apple pay problem


Sometimes, when I try paying with apple pay, it doesn’t work. I have an iPhone 14, the latest IOS update and my nfc chip is definitely working. This really annoys me because I use apple quite often. Although after a few takes it does register, its still annoying.

Does anyone know why it bugs like that?

Are you using a case? Cases can be problematic at some transaction terminals.


The recommended procedure is to double click the side button while looking at the screen (Face ID verification), pick payment method if different from default and then tap transaction terminal.
