Tap to pay not working for Apple Pay (2024)

Same with me. My Apple Card still works online but my tap pay doesn’t. The card will open, I tap to pay, and the message on the store credit card machine says “unsupported card” after I tap it. So I use a non-Apple card to tap pay and it works fine. This is happening at stores I go to regularly where it has worked fine for years. Very annoying and I hope they figure it out soon. I didn’t notice when it started happening but probably around the new year. I have an iPhone 12 Pro and the current iOS I have is 16.3. No other updates are available yet

Same situation here. Over the past week or two my apple card is not working with tap pay. It works fine when I switch to another card.

Same issue here. The apple card in the apple wallet doesn't seems to send the info to the nfc reader at numerous POS systems where i have used it before until about two weeks ago. Other credit cards like amex and discover work fine on the same POS where i normally use it thorough the apple wallet. The apple card does pop up on the phone screen, i authorize it by the sleep button, face id works, but then the POS reports an error msg to the effect of "card error" ...not a authorized or approved msg as i would normally would expect.

I’m so glad that you were able to resolve your issue!

This is happening to me too! Stopped working on the same date! Works with different cards but not apple. Support just told me to try the charge again because they see no denied charges on their end. Frustrating

The software issue with Apple Card is the expiration date. Remove the card from your Wallet, restart your iPhone, and then add the card back to your Wallet. This updates the card to the correct format.

I had the same issue when i was on vacation in Venice. Double tap paying stopped on 18/03/24 I have updated my ios, signed out and then signed in again, restarted my phone, and deleted the card and installed again. For online purchases everything is fine but double tap option still not working for almost 12 days. I can see the ✔️ but on pos machine it is rejected and apple pay says it is rejected.

Sounds like you have a hardware issue. Please call Apple Support at 1-800-MY-APPLE and request they do remote diagnostics. Please mention to the support team member that you are have issues with NFC (Apple Pay) and your GPS.

Have you removed your Apple Card MasterCard and then added it back? This updates the expiration date and has worked for many people.

Apparently Express mode is on by default. A few weeks ago I took a NYC subway, swiped my senior metrocard and boarded. But the turnstile also read my Apple Pay and charged it for a full fare trip.

I am also having this problem. It started for me on 1/6/2024. It is very frustrating.

The post/comment you’re responding to is almost 3 months old. As you stated we’ve learned a lot since then. There is a fix for the issue for most people. If you remove Apple Card from your Wallet app and also your Apple ID Account, restart the iPhone and then add it back, it then works for the vast majority of users experiencing this issue. Of course your experience could be different.
