Disable Apple Pay NFC on iPhone

There must be a way to disable the NFC on iPhone without removing my apple pay cards. I cannot board the bus and scan my in-app ticket, and now today I couldnt scan my in-app boarding pass to the on the plane. Please, this is crazy. And please don’t tell me to add these tickets to the wallet, not all apps support this.

User needs to be able to temporarily suspend Apple Pay NFC popup I just installed Apple Pay and I like it, however because the Apple Pay popup automatically appears and there is no way to disable it, I got stuck in the train station today. To enter and leave the train stations in The Netherlands when traveling on an international ticket, you have to present the optical reader with the QR code on your phone. The optical reader is also an NFC device. Every time I attempted to put my QR code on my phone up to the reader, the Apple Pay popup appeared. I literally got stuck in the train station because there was no way to disable the popup (even for just a minute!). I had to wait for the next train to come and "tailgate" someone out of the station. Apple should either include a setting under Settings->Wallet or give the user the ability to temporarily disable the NFC triggered popup screen for a minute or two to allow the phone to be used for other things when in the vicinity of an NFC transmitter. If this is not resolved, I'll probably remove Apple Pay from my phone as it appears to include features (or a lack of features) that have not been well thought through. Thanks, James

Apple Pay Prompting When Unlocking Device after iOS 13 Update When I unlock my iPhone 8, the Apple Pay prompt appears asking me to use my biometric to confirm payment as if there is an Apple Pay NFC reader nearby, even if I am in my home or elsewhere where there are no Apple Pay readers. This only began occurring after the iOS 13 update, and has not resolved with iOS 13.1 or iOS 13.1.1 updates.

Do iPhone 11 support to NFC? Hi everyone, I downloaded the application of the public transport company in my country via AppStore. The balance is being loaded with the NFC-enabled phone because it is a card system. I was doing NFC reading on my old Android phone, but I couldn't manage to activate NFC on the iPhone 11 device or upload balance in the app no matter what I did. Does iPhone 11 support NFC?
