A number of Google Pixel owners are encountering a frustrating problem with their smartphones, as contactless tap-to-pay features have reportedly stopped functioning for some users.

The glitch appears to prevent affected Pixel devices from completing contactless transactions at retail payment terminals, leaving people unable to rely on their phones for everyday mobile checkouts.

While the exact cause behind the malfunction has not been officially confirmed, payment disruptions like this typically stem from recent software bugs, system updates, or issues within the mobile payment framework.
