Overview:
If you encounter issues using Tap to Pay on iPhone, this guide outlines common problems and solutions.

💡 Pro Tip

Tap to Pay on iPhone does not work if you're talking on the phone or connected to another bluetooth device (e.g. playing music through speakers).

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Ensure NFC, Bluetooth & Location Services are enabled:

    • Go to your iPhone's Settings > Apps > your Pebl app.

    • Ensure NFC, Bluetooth & Location Services are enabled.

  2. Check for iOS updates:

    • Make sure you're running a recent iOS version (released within the last year; we recommend the latest — see currently supported iOS versions).

    • Check in your iPhone's Settings > General > Software Update.

  3. Confirm device compatibility:

    • Tap to Pay only works on iPhone XS or later.

    • Check in your iPhone's Settings > General > About.

  4. Re-trigger Tap to Pay setup:

    • Log out of your Pebl app and back in — the one-time Tap to Pay setup prompts will appear again. (Setup is automatic in the app; there's no manual re-registration.)

  5. Restart your device:

    • Turn your iPhone off and on, then retry.
