Unlike Apple’s digital payment system, which only works through the Apple Wallet app, Samsung Pay works on Galaxy devices as well as non-Samsung smartphones. However, several users are now reporting that they are facing major issues while logging into their Samsung Pay app on non-Samsung smartphones. There are chances that Samsung Pay may have stopped working on non-Galaxy devices! Here are the details.
Many users who relied on Samsung Pay on their non-Samsung, Android smartphones started facing issues with the platform. While most of them got an “ID not valid” error while logging into their account via the Samsung Pay app on their devices, some faced the same on their Galaxy Watch models, including the Galaxy Watch 4.
Now, asserting that Samsung Pay will no longer be supported by other Android phones is a huge claim as many users rely on the digital payment platform on their non-Samsung devices. So, if Samsung did plan to discontinue Samsung Pay on other Android devices, it would have officially made the announcement much earlier. Hence, we expect that the response, shared by the affected user, is a mistake from Samsung’s end. However, if it is indeed true, then Samsung is in for harsh criticisms and backlash from users.
Going forward, we expect Samsung to officially address the issue and make the necessary amendments. So if you are one of the users who is facing the “invalid ID” issue in Samsung Pay on your non-Samsung device, we suggest you stay tuned for further updates.
