Payment app scams usually rely on urgency, impersonation, and a request you feel pressured to approve fast. The best defense is to slow down, verify the person another way, and never send money just because a message sounds official.
Turn on every security feature the app offers, including passcodes, biometric login, alerts, and any extra verification option. Use a strong password and treat every request like it could be spoofed.
If something feels off, stop and check the recipient name, the amount, and the context before you tap send. Money sent too quickly is often money gone for good.
