Samsung Pay is a cool service that enables you to use your smartphone almost anywhere that accepts RFID chips for payments. You can even use Samsung Pay at places where you would normally swipe a credit card by simply putting your phone over the swiping terminal. However, you might find it annoying when you accidentally pull up your Samsung Pay cards when you didn’t intend to. This guide will show you how to either enable or disable Samsung Pay, so you can quickly access your cards or turn off the feature from your lock screen or home screen.
To disable the Samsung Pay gesture, swipe up and find the Samsung Pay app from your apps. You can also search for it by typing ‘pay’ and clicking on Samsung Pay. Once you have the app open, click on the three lines at the top, then go to settings. Under settings, look for the ‘use favorite cards’ option at the top. Here, you can choose whether you want to access your cards from your lock screen, home screen, or when the screen is off.
If you don’t want to access your cards from your home screen, turn off the feature. Sometimes, when using the new navigation feature, your cards may appear along with your recent apps. It’s best to keep this feature turned off. If you still want to access your cards from your lock screen, you can keep that feature enabled. If someone tries to access your cards from the lock screen, they will need to know your PIN or have access to your fingerprint sensor to use your card.
In conclusion, Samsung Pay is a convenient and easy-to-use service that allows you to make payments almost anywhere. If you find the Samsung Pay gesture annoying, you can easily turn it off by following the steps outlined in this guide. What’s your favorite thing to buy using Samsung Pay, and where do you use it?
