Does Google Pay Have Limitations on iPhone?
The primary limitation of using Google Pay on an iPhone is you can’t use it to make contactless payments. Android phones that support Near Field Communications (NFC) can pay through Google Pay at brick-and-mortar stores by holding their phone close to a payment terminal. Wireless NFC payment through Google Pay isn’t available for iPhone users, but some physical businesses and service providers do accept payment through Google Pay even if you have an iPhone. In that case, they’ll provide you with a QR code or phone number, and you can send payment through the pay and request feature.
