NFC Apple Pay not working on iOS 26

After updating to iOS 26, when I try to make contactless payments, the NFC app remains in a waiting state. It doesn't give any error messages, it just waits.


I contacted Apple Support, and they ran a remote hardware diagnosis and found no faulty components. They say it's software-related and I should wait for iOS 26.0.1, but I can't find anyone online with the same problem.


Is it possible they'll fix this problem with iOS 26.0.1?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 26

in addition, wireless charge didnt work on same time, on gym machine, it didnt work. and im looking for these bugs on other community, someone saying i had same problems and it worked well after when he did reboot his phone, and i rebooted so it worked! wireless charge worked on same gym machine and transport fee worked well.


it seems many IP users had same trouble on it, so it has to be get resolved as soon as possible.
