One of the best functions of my Apple Watch is the convenience of Apple pay. It is fantastic! Unfortunately this function no longer works after upgrading The IPhone 6 to 9.3.4. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Check that cards are still added to your watch:
- On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Wallet & Apple Pay.
Note that, if you turn off Wrist Detection, turn off Passcode or sign out of iCloud, all payment cards will be removed from your watch automatically, as a built-in security measure.
Everything looks fine on the watch app and the watch. When I double click the side button, Apple Pay doesn't come up.
Check that you are double-clicking quickly enough.
For comparison / guidance purposes: in order to activate Apple Pay via the side button on Apple Watch, the double-click needs to be significantly quicker than the slower speeds at which a double-click on the iPhone's Home button causes previews of open apps to be displayed.
To familiarise yourself with the required speed, you can practice launching this screen on your watch at any time. To return to the watch face, press the Digital Crown once.
I Have used this function regularly for over a year. I am double clicking quickly enough. Something changed aftear the IPhone 9.3.4 upgrade
It may help to restart your watch:

If you have not yet done so, it may also help to update your watch to the latest software:
Thank you so much. I have become rather dependent on this function.
You are most welcome - so have I! 🙂
