Apple Reactivates Apple Pay "Tap to Provision" Feature, Streamlining New Card Addition in iOS 18
IT Home, September 15th - Source Aaron Perris revealed on X platform yesterday (September 14th) that Apple has re-enabled the "Tap to Provision" feature for Apple Pay. Apple had briefly disabled the feature last week, but it has been restored just two days before the official release of iOS 18.
"Tap to Provision" is a new feature in the iOS 18 Wallet app that allows users to add new cards to Apple Pay by simply tapping their NFC-enabled debit or credit card against their iPhone. This is the default method for adding new cards to Apple Pay, eliminating the need to take a photo of the card or manually enter card details, significantly simplifying the card addition process.
It's important to note that simply tapping the card doesn't directly add it to Apple Pay. Like other methods of adding cards to Apple Pay, users still need to receive a verification code from their bank via SMS (or complete other verification methods) to finalize the process.
While Apple has not publicly disclosed the reason for the initial disablement, speculation suggests it may have been due to technical issues or security vulnerabilities. The re-activation of the feature indicates that Apple has addressed any problems, and users can continue to enjoy this convenient payment functionality.
The return of "Tap to Provision" means iOS 18 will offer users a more streamlined Apple Pay experience. With the feature's further development and wider adoption, we can expect more users to choose Apple Pay for their transactions, further propelling the growth of mobile payments.
