When one searches for ‘Google Pay’ the competitors of the app are showing up in its place, even when Google Pay is listed under the ‘recently updated apps’ section on Apple App store. Apparently, the app has been taken down from the iOS app store as the Google team is working on resolving some bugs and issues.
