I remember hearing this was a problem with Gen 2s and iPhones when Gen 2 first came out.

I never had this problem until the last update (2025.06.30). Since then, my Pixel 9 Pro XL, opens up some type of payment authorization every time I place the phone anywhere NEAR the wireless charger. Most of the time it isn't an issue but sometimes it will stop whatever's playing. I've also noticed it will occasionally keep the phone's screen on while it waits for my fingerprint.

To be fair, I don't know if this coincided exactly with the last vehicle update or if it's a phone update, but it's annoying and I hope it's fixed soon. Anyone else experiencing something similar?

This is a convenience feature so you can easily and quickly pay for faster charging. Rivian introduced this two days ago on 4/1.

Anyone with a Pixel suddenly having these issues like me? I haven't changed any settings since this cropped up. I suppose it could be due to a recent software update. Any input appreciated.

It sounds like the NFC besides the wireless pad is triggering the payment option. It must be a feature on your phone where NFC is triggering an 'auto' pay option (with your fingerprint) - Look for options around quick pay, smart pay, nfc etc. that toggling off may help solve this issue.

Sorry mate, I removed my charger a year ago and haven't done March's Pixel update yet either.

The only option I see is to turn NFC off entirely but then, obviously, I can't use NFC.

Same problem on my pixel 9, but have only ever had the vehicle with this update.

I've had mine since October and this problem only started in the last 3-4 weeks.

Verify identity
Pixel 7, Android 15, March security update. I looked again yesterday evening, verified phone started wireless charging, Google Wallet did not launch. I do have it set up to be on for payments, but I also have it so it needs my fingerprint to authorize.
