Samsung Pay Galaxy A22 5G

[Members_HaqdLhl]

Just got a new Samsung A22 5G phone but Samsung Pay App wasn't transferred with Smart Switch. It says not compatible with device when I try to download from the Play Store. When I searched why this might be it suggest the phone is unlikely to have an NFC connection but I clearly do have an NFC connection in settings and furthermore I have been able to download Google Pay.

It seems odd that Samsung would build a phone with NFC firmware that wasn't compatible with their own NFC software although another Internet search does suggest this seems to be the case. Can anyone confirm before I move my contactless payment to Google Pay (probably forevermore)

Hi, Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass have been amalgamated into Samsung Wallet.

Thanks that's helpful although can't find Samsung Wallet preinstalled on my phone

Hi, you will need to download it from Play store.

Can't see it in either Play Store or Galaxy Store - I'm thinking it is not supported on phone but that is bizarre - Samsung Wallet | Apps & Services | Samsung UK

Hmm weird! Is Pay available on Play Store for the A22?

How do you download nfc

[LukeB2]

@Karen Drayton  You cannot download NFC onto your phone, this will be pre-installed onto your phone. You can enable NFC by heading to Settings > Connections > Tap the toggle next to NFC and contactless payments.

Do you have the A22?
