Apple Card 'Cannot Be Used' Error Forcing Users to Remove and Re-add Cards

[MacRumors]

If your Apple Card has suddenly stopped working, you are not alone. Apple's system status page indicates there is an issue that has resulted in some Apple Card users receiving a "this card cannot be used" error in the Wallet app since early Tuesday.

Apple says affected users should tap the "Remove Card" option and then re-add the Apple Card to the Wallet app by tapping the plus sign in the top-right corner, choosing Previous Cards, and following the on-screen instructions. Apple says transaction history will reappear after the card is re-added, suggesting this an annoying but harmless glitch.

It's unclear how widespread the issue is or if only certain iOS versions are affected. Apple did not share any additional details.

Launched in 2019, the Apple Card remains exclusive to the United States. Apple's credit card can be managed completely through the Wallet app on the iPhone, with a physical version available for use at stores that do not accept contactless payments.

Happened to me I was able to re-add it.

Is this affecting all iOS users or just those on iOS 16?

 

[chrono1081]

This happened to me this morning. (I'm on iOS 16)

 

[WWPD]

It's Apples new anti-impulse buying feature.

 

[dannyyankou]

Make sure the chip isn't dirty, give it a wipe

Edit: I thought the headline meant remove, and re-add it to the card reader lol

I think its entirely random. Not affected on iOS 16 here.

Apple needs to release a new Apple Card 2. Mid-Night or Space Gray edition, please. Imagine Product Red Apple Card! OMG! Am I asking for too much?

I would take a Deep Purple Apple Card in a heartbeat.

Same. In on the latest iOS and have no issues.

Second that it appears to be random. Hubby is affected, I'm not. Both on iOS16.

I'm waiting for a Black Sabbath Edition. That would be rad.

 

[Boyd01]

Used my card twice this morning, got the usual alerts and the purchases are showing in my wallet. I'm still on iOS 14.6 however.

 

[Santiago]

It hit me this morning on my new iPhone, but not on my other devices.

I saw the physical card when it arrived, hid it under the bed with the cash, and have not seen it since. I didnt know some people use the physical card out in the wild.

I have used it at a few restaurants that don’t have contactless pay

I do. It’s a flex on another level honestly. Such as paying for dinner, eating out, hanging it to the cashier.. and so on. People also get amazed and tell me this is a very nice card! It’s an Apple Card!

I just like the durability and sound of it. It's one of the few that never gets caught on flap when I tey to put it back in my wallet

 

[Trozetar]

Good to see this wasn't just me. Adding it back resolved rather quickly but I did have a mini heart attack when I woke up this morning.

Worked fine last night and I woke up to this. No, I haven't gone through the steps: too annoyed. "It just works"? Steve would be firing someone today.

 

[CharlesShaw]

I didnt know some people use the physical card out in the wild.

It’s the only physical card I carry (unless I’m traveling) and my grocery store doesn’t take contactless payments.

 

[kuietstorm]

Must b random, just made a purchase without any issues.

 

[JosephAW]

My problem isn't the Apple Card but my Bank Card. I've deleted and added the card but it keeps failing. Called bank and they tell me it's posting the wrong expiration date. Started with iOS 16.

 

[ChedNasad]

So weird. Happened to me and like many others I was able to get it added with no noticeable issues after the fact. At least the impact was almost zero with this bug

That's the most excitement around Apple Card in awhile. It sure would be nice to see some improvements and/or new features someday.
