How to Turn Off Your Apple Pay Card

Apple Pay is a convenient way to make payments using your iPhone or Apple Watch. However, there may be times when you need to turn off your Apple Pay card. Here’s how to do it:

Method 1: Using the Apple Wallet App

1. Open the Wallet app on your iPhone or Apple Watch.
2. Tap on your Apple Pay card.
3. Scroll down and tap on “Remove Card.”
4. Confirm that you want to remove the card by tapping on “Remove.”

Method 2: Using iCloud

1. Go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID.
2. Click on “Settings.”
3. Scroll down to the “Payments” section and click on “Manage Payments.”
