Apple Pay stopped working

Hi everyone. Has anyone else had a problem with Apple Pay stopping working? Message comes up saying “updating cards. Apple Pay will be available when updates are complete”. Have tried removing cards and adding them back. All cards and Apple Pay work fine on my other iPhone.

Grateful for any advice.


thank you

Hello hughaz,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

We understand that you are unable to use your Apple Pay and are getting a message that says “updating cards. Apple Pay will be available when updates are complete”. You have tried removing and re-adding the cards without success. Let's next make sure that your iPhone is fully updated. Take a look at this article for guidance:

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Next, if it's still unresolved, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support directly for help from their Apple Pay specialists. Here's a direct link to get started:
