How to use Samsung Pay via the Galaxy Watch in India

Samsung Electronics tries to offer the best experience to its users and always tries something better than the existing one. Like with Samsung Pay, they want the tap-and-pay feature functionality of the Galaxy Watch. Because initially, there was no such support from them. Nevertheless, it seems now that it is possible to tap and pay on Samsung Pay via the Galaxy Watch. 

Initially, the feature was unavailable, but the recent update rolled out to all Samsung watches made it possible. However, support is still available to Indians, even though users are restricted from using Samsung Pay. Because the watch is updated to the latest OS, the phone frequently nudges you to update the watch, which is already updated. Nevertheless, don’t worry; we explain something better.

How to use Samsung Pay via the Galaxy Watch in India

Samsung Pay is a privileged payment and wallet service from Samsung that recently increased its availability. We have all seen that NFC-enabled payments are made by just getting a debit card near NFC. The same experience Samsung wants in their watch. For this, they initiated this feature, but that was for users other than India. 

Later, they rolled out the OneUI 5 update for the Galaxy Watch 4 or Watch 4 Classic. Again, the same problem occurs when we open the Samsung Pay drawer on a watch; the paired Samsung phone prompts unnecessarily. Moreover, users are craving to use that tap-and-pay feature on the Samsung Watch. Noted that we found a significant way to run Samsung Pay with the Tap and Pay feature on the Galaxy Watch, let us have.

Note: While following the steps, ensure the Galaxy Watch is connected to the Samsung Phone.

• Simply install the Samsung Pay (Watch Plug-in) APK from here.
• Then open Samsung Pay on your Galaxy Watch.
• Now, add your debit or credit cards to it.
• Next, press and hold the back button on your Galaxy Watch.
• Following this, the Samsung Pay app will open.
• Now tap on the card that you want to use.
• After that, hold your Galaxy Watch near the payment terminal until you feel a vibration.
• This way, you can use the tap-and-pay feature of Samsung Pay on your Galaxy Watch.

In this manner, you can experience the instant payment feature by tapping Pay on your Galaxy Watch. But remember to note that this is a tweak to the official process because the official rollout showcased problems while opening Samsung Pay on the watch. I hope that shortly, the developers at Samsung will fix it. Until then, you can use that feature and rely on it. Regarding this, if any user has a query, then ask them below.
