Alongside of the off-screen activation for Samsung Pay, users can also set the mobile payments app to activate from both their lock screen and home screens, though we know many users will prefer the screen-off function best. Simply swipe upwards to activate Samsung Pay (just make sure you set the settings toggle to “on” before trying it). Also, you’ll notice that card numbers are now displayed automatically, as opposed to before.
The new Samsung Pay update brings the latest version to 1.3.1716, along with an “About” section where you can check for future Samsung Pay updates.
Samsung Pay beta users, have you gotten this update yet? If so, feel free to let us know what you think of it and whether or not you’ll use Samsung Pay when it goes live in the US.
