Is there a way to turn off Samsung Pay?

[Misszell]

Its so much easier to pull out my card....I just haven't been happy with it. It won't allow me to uninstall and if i pick force stop it eventually comes back. I just don't want it running, or have that little tab on the bottom of my screen.

If you go into the app and turn off simple pay, the tab will not show. If you can uninstall or disable it within app manager, I think you'll need package disabler.

You can only disable it. It's much more secure and convenient to me.

Thanks....I have at least got it disabled. My card is chipped.....I feel very secure using it. Not so much with the Samsung Pay which works when it wants to. I may try it again after they zap more of the bugs.

Sorry it does not work for you, weird. I use it at least 3 times a day since the beta first started and it has never not worked.

AMEN!

The new chip cards are a pain, you have to leave them in the machine for a while. Samsung Pay is far more convenient and secure. I've been using it everywhere

He's only giving his opinion also.. I agree, Samsung pay much much easier.

I like using SP as it is something new to play with.
I also enjoy the added security when using it, that is, when it actually works.

I never leave the house without my phone. I have however forgotten my wallet.

That is what makes mobile payment invaluable to me.

Anyone else have their Samsung Pay reset itself? For some reason my CC is removed and I'm asked to reauthorize.

I just removed my card from Samsung Pay and the tab at the bottom disappears. The only card I have that currently works with Samsung Pay is my Bank of America debit card, I know it's pretty secure but if something were to happen I'd rather it happen with a credit card where I can deal with the company instead of it happening to my checking account where I need that money for bills and what not.

I cant use it right now because Discover is not on th elist. Anyway when I go into app manager to disable it the icon is grayed out. I force stop it and then it just comes back. No way to get rid of it. Any thoughts

Will the Package Disabler app available in the Playstore serve your purpose?

Just disable it, that's what I did.

It may. Have you used it and if so have you experienced any ill effects from the Package Disabler app just being on phone like excessive battery drain or anything? How about removing that app once you have everything gone you don't want?

Just disable it, that's what I did.

How did you disable it? It doesn't have the disable option in the app manager, and continues to update and launch itself despite my uninstalling to factory.

It is driving me nuts.

More details on outsmarting the fox:
The first part is a great suggestion, because the package disablers require rooting of the device, which not everyone is comfortable with. While you can't completely remove the app without rooting & using disabler programs, you can easily get rid of the annoying notifications and the slider at the bottom of the screen by unchecking all boxes in the settings menu for Samsung Pay. The only way to get to the settings for this app is to activate it first and set it as default payment app (temporarily). You don't have to add any cards to it. Once the app loads beyond the initial setup screens, you can finally click to view (and thus remove) the notifications about deals and promotions and then deselect all options in the settings.

I'm sorry to hear about your issues with samsung pay. I use it constantly and it always works great. So much quicker than pulling out my wallet to get my card and it processes alot faster than the chip.
