Fixes For Google Pay Server Error (Couldn’t Reach Servers)
Fix 1: Check For Internet Connectivity Problem
- The first possibility for this error is the slow or unstable internet connection so turn off and on your mobile data, then check if the error still comes.
- If the error still comes then perform an internet speed test to make sure your internet is providing good speed and stability.
- If your internet is stable and fast but error is still coming then try connecting over a different internet connection to check if this helps or not.
Fix 2: Perform Restart For Your Device
If there is no internet problem behind the error then we will suggest you to shut down your phone for around two to three minutes, and after that restart your phone. Once your phone restarts, open the Google Pay app and check if the error still comes.
Fix 3: Check If Your Google Pay version Is Outdated
If restarting the phone is not doing any help with the error then next check if your Google Pay app version is outdated, if so then consider updating the Google Pay app and then check for the error.
- Go to your App Store.
- From the App Store search bar Search for Google Pay.
- Now check if you can see the update option next to the Google Pay app, if so then choose to update the app.
- Once the app is updated, check if the error still comes.
Fix 4: Make Sure Your Your Phone Is Recharged
If you are getting this error while registering your phone number then make sure your phone is recharged. If not then Google Pay may not be able to verify your phone number resulting in this error.
Fix 5: Check App Permission
If nothing above is helping with the error then we will advise you to visit the Google Pay app setting to check if the required permissions are enabled for the app or not. In case required permissions are disabled for the Google Pay app then this may also cause such problems.
For Android
- Go to Settings.
- Then go to Apps settings.
- Then choose Google Pay.
- Then choose the Permissions option.
- Then make sure required permission such as location, phone, SMS, location, etc are allowed.
For IOS
- Go to Settings.
- Go to Privacy & Security.
- Then choose any Permission category.
- Now for each category make sure you have enabled Google Pay.
Fix 6: Try Again
If the error still comes then we will advise you to wait for a few hours and try again. If the error doesn’t go away then you can try uninstalling the Google Pay app and then reinstalling the Google Pay app. Once the app is reinstalled try doing your task again to check if the error still comes or not.
