How do I use PIN Entry Accessibility for Tap to Pay on iPhone?

From the PIN entry screen, tap Accessibility Options to turn on the accessibility mode for PIN entry.

When the accessibility mode is on, the device reads out loud “Accessible PIN entry, double tap with two fingers to hear instructions.” The instructions are:

  • To enter your PIN, draw each digit on the screen (supported in iOS 17.0 or later) or tap the screen for each digit.
    • Users should pause between taps or drawing for each digit.
    • The device plays a sound to confirm entry for each digit and you can use the side buttons on your iPhone to adjust the volume as needed.
  • Tap once for 1, twice for 2, and so on.
  • Tap ten times for 0.
  • To submit a PIN, swipe right with two fingers.
  • To delete a digit, swipe left with two fingers.
  • Double tap with two fingers to repeat the instructions.

To turn off Accessibility Mode, tap Turn Off Accessibility Options.

Important: PIN entry times out after 5 minutes. Accessibility Mode turns off automatically when the Tap to Pay on iPhone interface times out or is dismissed.
