In this digital era, we prefer using internet banking instead of cash, credit card, or debit cards to pay bills, recharge, or anything else. Samsung has its own application to let users pay online called Samsung Pay, which has recently merged with Samsung Pass and became Samsung Wallet.
Samsung Pay used to work on all Galaxy as well as non-Galaxy phones, even the Galaxy Watch 4 is compatible with this application. However, many non-Samsung smartphone users have started complaining that the app has stopped working on their phones.

According to a report, when concerned users talked to Samsung customers, they said that Samsung Pay will not work on non-Samsung smartphones. However, this shouldn’t be the case and this answer might be a mistake.
If the company had to ban Samsung Pay from non-Galaxy phones, they would have announced it months in advance so that users would not have to face any problems.
The Samsung Pay app is being used by many Android customers, some have even purchased the Galaxy Watch 4 just to make payments through their wrists. Hopefully, this is a bug that will be fixed in a few days with a new update.
