This digital wallet is already integrated into the iPhone and Apple Watch and is called Wallet, so there is no need to download any additional applications.

Additionally, Apple Pay is protected from unauthorized use by relying on trusted authentication methods, including the biometric identification methods available on Apple devices: Face ID and Touch ID (on older devices) .
How to set up Apple Pay on your iPhone
Paying with Apple Pay is very simple thanks to the agreement that the service maintains with businesses in many countries around the world. But prior affiliation of a credit card or debit card from a banking entity participating in the service is necessary.
The procedure to enter the information can be done from the same Wallet application, either by taking a photo or writing it manually.
How to pay with Apple Pay using your iPhone
Once your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch is affiliated with the Apple Pay service, the payment method for any consumption made in an associated establishment is quite fast. However, it varies depending on the type of device.
On iPhone X and up, double-tap the side button. Authenticate with Face ID or enter your unlock code. Next, bring the device to the top of the contactless payment terminal and wait for the transaction to complete. A check mark should appear.
