ios 11 - stop asking me to add apple pay

Possible fix for the persistent, annoying notification: "Complete your set up, by adding Apple Pay".


Thanks, but no thanks. I've reset my phone, turned off notifications, and yet, I still get the prompt... over, and over again. I may have found a fix for this but need some confirmation.


Tap Settings - Toggle "Airplane Mode ON" > Tap Settings - General - "Software Update" > Tap Settings - Toggle "Airplane Mode OFF" - Notification removed.

iPhone 7, iOS 11.0.1, Possible Fix?

Not sure why Apple insists on being such a close part of my financial life. Apple should make it an option that's easy to say "no" to, and then get out of my life.

This is what worked for us:


  1. Went to Settings/Notifications/Wallet, turned on "Allow Notifications", set "Show Previews" to NEVER, then went back and set "Allow Notifications" to OFF.
  2. Went to Settings/Wallet & Apple Pay and set to OFF
  3. Went to Settings/Finish Setting Up iPhone/Set Up Apple Pay/ then chose "Set Up Later in Wallet"


So far it hasn't come back again. Not sure if #1 did anything, but I saw someone else suggest this, so went with it.

What I found to make most of the insanity stop was to go in to Settings and scroll down to “Wallet & Apple Pay”. Under that I turned off “Apple Pay Cash”. The relentless popup stopped but there is still a red 1 on my Settings icon and a line under my name in settings prompting me. These are relatively east to ignore though. Hope this helps.
