Any way to disable samsung pay on watch 5 pro?

[DC_UK]

So i ran in even more issues after the latest one ui update on my watch 5 pro. I noticed now that samsung pay annoyingly keeps switching on automatically (im guessing by holding the back button). I tried to find how to completely remove the app but couldn't find any solutions. It also looks like it's impossible to change the back button action. The watch battery is holding much worse now as well. I did a reset to fix the sleeping recording issue. Now this. Why can't samsung so updates properly before releasing them? So annoying. It just feels that it's being done to make us buy a new gadget.

Uninstalling Samsung Pay isn't an option on the Galaxy Watch models. You can Force Stop and Disable the app in Watch Settings, but you can't remove it. If you prefer Google Pay, install it and map it to the home button.

Bad decisions by samsung. I've disabled it but it still keeps coming back on. My perfectly fine watch is quite disappointing now.

That will mean i would have a completely new set up, which i really don't want to do at the moment, because it takes a while to make everything right again. I thought that was the whole point to have a backed up data when resetting a device. Also, before the update this issue wasn't there. But thanks for your reply

Hi, am having the same issue but not tech savvy and don't know what xda developers is. It is really annoying! draining my battery! Can you explain in novice language? R

Bonjour,

J ai testé de réinitialiser mais Samsung pay revient toujours et la montre est inutilisable ( batterie vide en 3h).

Auriez vous un conseil svp ?

Merci *****

Hi if your battery is draining that quickly I suspect your LTE is switched on on your phone, switch this off. I hope this helps 🙏
