Is there a way to stop Apple Wallet from opening automatically when near a paying terminal.

I wouldn’t mind it, but i have to give my phone to a bus driver so he could read my bus ticket’s QR code. As the payment terminal is situated near to the QR-code reader device on the same console, sometimes it takes 10 or even 20 seconds to get it done. It is annoying to the driver and to the passengers, too. Please help.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

That doesn’t work, even when that button is on, cards still kick in when the phone gets close to a paying terminal. The only thing that having on such button prevents is that no charge is done to the card until you press double click. But still the card appears and overrides the photo app where the QR code is. This is a serious design flaw.
