JAKARTA Apple launched a new way of using Apple Pay in browsers and devices other than made by Apple. Through an iOS 18 update, users can pay with Apple Pay in various types of browsers. In a short video for developers, which was released during the 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) held, Apple said that its company has improved its Apple Pay capabilities and payment methods in iOS 18. With this improvement, users can pay for a wide variety of transactions in browsers other than Safari, be it Chrome, Firefox, or other browsers. This new capability is very useful for iPhone users who do not use Macs. Tanya Al-Rehani as Wallet Developer and Apple Pay explains that, "Users of iOS 18 can use Apple Pay in various kinds of non-Safari browsers by simply scanning their iPhone code to complete payments." Tanya provides a little overview of using Apple Pay in browsers and other devices. From the examples shared, it can be seen that Tanya uses another developer-made browser and uses devices other than Macs.

When you want to make a payment, users can select the Apple Pay option and click the payment button until a special code appears on the screen. After that, users only need to scan the code and wait until the transaction is successful. Until now, Apple Pay payments are only available on Safari and Mac. Although this new capability will be launched on iOS 18 update, Apple Pay will depend on browsers and devices other than compatible Apple.
