Just tried to use Apple Pay for the first time on my 6s and it wouldn't work. I just got the 'hold near reader to pay' message. I ended up using my cards chip to pay for the item.

Is there any known problems with Apple Pay on the latest beta?

Thanks.

Apple will tell you to restore to a proper release version of iOS 9.2.1 and try it. The stores treat beta software the same as they do with jailbreaks.

Dammit. Will most probably wait until the official 9.3 release then take it in. It's not mega important to use Apple Pay, but will want it fixed if it's not working.

Could be that your being to quick for the card reader try holding it there for longer once you have heard the beep leave it a few more seconds.

I tried that, but no luck. I will try a different shop to confirm.
Try different shop failing that do a complete restore should iron out issues. Got to say I've not had any on this beta so far (touch wood) I literally use my phone everywhere.
