iphone 7iPhone users report February Apple Pay outage. This 2016 issue is another problem related to Apple products [here is how to fix Safari crash on iPhone iOS 9]. Apple Pay is a popular mobile payment service that is available in the U.S. and some other countries across the world. It seems that right now the outage affects only Visa cards.
For example, users who have MasterCard and American Express are able to add their new card on iPhone while customers with Visa cards assure they face the unpleasant Apple Pay can’t add card bug. It’s curious that Apple reflected the problem on its status page.
The company doesn’t always show the real outage on its page. Sometimes a big number of users report the same issue and Apple is silent [learn more about upcoming iPhone 7 features]. This time everything is different. The outage was noticed by the iPhone maker and Apple confirmed that it was a problem that lasted for several hours in a row.
The new Apple Pay outage doesn’t affect users who are paying via this service. You can still shop and pay for services and goods with your iPhone. You are just not able to add a new Visa card to your account. All previously added cards are working.
The Cupertino-based giant should fix the bug and it shouldn’t bother iPhone users for too long. When the company is aware and confirms the problem – it is working hard on providing the fix as soon as possible.
