How to reinstall Apple Pay?

Hi,


I deleted the Apple Pay/Wallet app on my iPhone a while ago because I had no use of it. Now I need to use it but it doesn't appear among my apps anymore.


What I do is I use the Apple Store to find the Wallet App but then I can only open it, not download it and install it again. I've managed to use like this for now but it is inconvenient (I have to open the Apple Store, look for the Wallet app and open it as opposed to directly opening it).


How can I reinstall the app once and for all?

Thanks!

Hi, smarbre.


Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you’re wanting to restore the Wallet app on your iPhone, but when you search for it in the App Store it gives you the option to OPEN instead of download. The good news is that this is an indicator that it’s already on your device. When you open it form here, do you have to set up your accounts again? If you don’t, this is another indicator that it’s saved somewhere on your iPhone.


Let’s see if we can find it! First, if you haven’t already, restart your iPhone. Sometimes a simple restart is all it takes.



If restarting doesn’t reveal your Wallet app, do a search for it following these instructions: Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If you see the Wallet app at the top, it’s on your iPhone somewhere. If it’s hidden in a folder, you should see the name of the folder in fine print to the right. If you don’t see it on a Home screen and there isn’t a folder named (and you’ve updated to iOS 14) check to see if it’s in the App Library.



If you find it in the App Library and you want it on your Home screen, you can touch and hold the app to send it back to the Home screen.


Best Regards!
