Apple Pay is a dependable and safe option for individuals who wish to concentrate as many capabilities on their phone as possible. If you have an iPhone or an Apple Watch but haven't used the Apple Pay feature yet, check out this guide to learn how.
Apple Pay works in tandem with Apple Wallet, which grows in functionality with each new iteration. With the release of iOS 15, for example, Wallet now allows you to store ID cards and driver's licences in select US jurisdictions. When travelling by plane, for example, your iPhone is all you need. With iOS 16, Apple has added a new amazing feature to Apple Pay called Apple Pay Later, which allows you to pay with Apple Pay in four instalments without incurring interest.
With so many functions focused in one service, the tendency is to connect as many credit cards, airline or concert tickets, and even ID cards into Apple Wallet as feasible. Contactless payment is particularly easy whether you have an iPhone in your pocket or an Apple Watch on your wrist.
So, whether you just got a new iPhone or are adding a new debit or credit card to Wallet, learn how simple it is to set up Apple Pay from your iPhone and enjoy the convenience of making payments with only your phone. However, before you do so, double-check that your credit card is able to be linked to Apple Pay by evaluating the card issuers that work with Apple Pay.
