Apple Pay is a popular mobile payment service, but sometimes it can be down for users. According to our analysis, Apple Pay outages can occur due to server issues, payment processing problems, or technical glitches.
To check if Apple Pay is down for you, you can start by visiting the Apple Support website. The website provides a status page that shows the current status of Apple services, including Apple Pay.
If you're experiencing issues with Apple Pay, you can also check the Apple Pay Twitter account for updates and outage reports. The account is usually active and provides timely updates on service status.
Apple Pay's outage reports can be found on Downdetector, a website that tracks service outages and provides real-time data on the number of users affected.
Apple Pay Status
Apple Pay has been experiencing issues, with many users reporting problems with their Chase cards being declined when using the service.
As of the time of writing, the Chase customer service line has wait times of up to 15 minutes, with agents telling customers that Apple Pay is going through maintenance to receive an unexpected upgrade.
Reports on social media suggest that the problems are far more widespread than just Maryland, which is the only area mentioned on Apple's System Status webpage as being affected by maintenance.

Chase Pay Outage
Chase customers are experiencing issues with Apple Pay, with many reporting that their cards are being declined when trying to make purchases.
Nilay Patel, editor-in-chief of The Verge, posted on Threads that his Chase card was declined when attempting to check out with Apple Pay.
The problem seems to be widespread, with most complaints coming from Chase customers, but it's unclear if other banks are affected.
A 15-minute wait time is currently in place for the Chase customer service line, with agents telling customers that Apple Pay is "going through maintenance" to receive an unexpected upgrade.
Apple's System Status webpage does indeed say there is "Maintenance In Progress" for Apple Pay, but it claims only some Maryland users should have issues during this maintenance.
The exact cause of the outage and when it will be fixed are unknown, with Apple yet to comment on the issue.
Chase customers are advised to try paying without using Apple Pay to see if their card works fine.
