Q: Apple Pay Transaction History on Watch

I have noticed that I can't see a transaction history for Apple Pay purchases made from my watch. Is there anywhere I can see these? I've looked in the settings on the watch, on my phone, and in the watch app, but can't see the transaction history anywhere. If this isn't available, I suggest it as a future feature. Thanks!

    *bump*

     

    To be honest I'm amazed this hasn't been addressed already.  It remains a glaring oversight in my opinion.

    Hi

     

    It is not presently possible to view your Apple Pay transaction history on Apple Watch. Confirmation of transactions is provided in due course via your card / bank statements (as it would be if you were using the payment card directly).

     

    Apple Pay does not collect any transaction information that can be tied back to you. Payment transactions are between you, the merchant (or the app developer for payments made within apps) and your card issuer.

     

    If you have the same payment card added to Apple Pay on an iPhone or iPad, then it is possible that payments made via that same card on your watch may be included in the transaction history (the last 10 transactions) that is shown by your card issuer within the Wallet app on your other device(s). Depending on your card issuer:

     

    - You might see only transactions made with that device, or;

    - You might see all transactions made using that payment card account (including usage via Apple Pay across all devices and usage of the actual card).

     

    When you view a card in the Wallet app (by tapping on the card), the most recent transaction will be shown beneath the picture of the card. To see the last 10 transactions, next tap on the "i" icon in the lower-right corner of the screen.

     

    If you like to suggest that Apple considers enabling transaction history to be made available on your watch, you can do so here:

    Thanks for the link - logged the feedback accordingly. Personally I just want equivalent history functionality on the watch that is currently available on the phone. If harmonising the purchases across Apple Pay is a privacy/security issue then I'd just take list of watch payments only.

     

    It is frustrating not being able to keep track of watch payments until your bank updates their transactions, as there is at least normally a 24hr delay (Longer across weekends).

    that reply doesn't make sense...  iPhone shows its Apple Pay transaction details without any problems and even sends notification through to the watch but the watch does not?
