Why did Apple Pay pop up on my phone?

There is a problem not addressed in this thread. My Applepay keeps randomly popping up in rental cars, on trains when I am not double tapping the home button and where there is no NFC request that is part of an Apple Pay sequence. There is something wrong in IOS triggering this.

I have not read something you describe or seen any errors in Apple Pay with my device or others in my family. You probably would have been better served by starting your own thread and describing your problem in detail, rather than adding onto a 2-year old thread.

What exactly are you doing when this seems to be appearing on the screen? Are you watching the screen that you know it is appearing when you are not near any NFC? If you have any rewards cards, they do not require that you double-tap the home button always, just bring the device in proximity, but many rental cars have NFC for additional purchases. Did you inquire with the rental company? What and where are you seeing this on a train?

Don't know. This has never happened to me.

You may have accidentally double-tapped the Home button while the phone was locked. Also, there have been odd reports of the Home button on some phones being over-sensitive - the reports I've seen have been about Siri popping up with even a short press/tap on the button. There may be a variant of that which caused this odd behaviour on your phone.

It's not something that is triggered externally

if you out your phone near nfc of any contactless card payment terminals, apple pay will pop up by itself. I tried it on the bus where we use contactless cards, it did activate on its own. So there you go

You may have accidentally double clicked the home button when you grabbed the iphone from your pocket. That always triggers apple pay.

Thanks for participating in the ASC. However, that is a duplicate of the same answer provided for in August of 2015, when this thread was started, one year ago.
