why apple is not providing payment through google pay apps through host card emulation when Apple is simultaneously making difficult for their customers and preventing ease of use.

why apple is not providing tap to pay feature in India when even basic android phones are providing this feature to their customers in india with google pay. atleast when apple pay is not going forward to provide this service atleast why it is stopping google pay and other apps to do so in iPhones and make payments simple for their Iphone customers.is this technologically that unachievable.I dont know much but I am just curious.


Sometime back i was watching first launch event of iPhone by steve jobs sir, the way iPhone addressed the issues at that point if time and how it was far ahead of its time that was truly impressive.I hope this is still true at apple,stay hungry stay foolish.


So to sum it again i wonder why iPhones cant provide this feature,this is something which is out of my understanding. Someone please throw some light, thanks in advance to community.😊

iPhone 15, iOS 18

Apple is not stopping Google Pay. They withdrew their app etc. and not longer support Apple Pay or Apple Wallet in all markets. This includes the US.


>>When will the U.S. version of the Google Pay app no longer be available for use? Starting on June 4, 2024, the U.S. version of the Google Pay app is no longer available for use. This change does not impact the Google Pay app in India or Singapore, nor does it impact Google Wallet. Learn more about Google Wallet.<<

Card emulation is not as secure as the technology Apple uses with Apple Pay, Dynamic Payment Tokens. Apple offers what it offers and it’s not intended to be a slight to Apple owners in India. The issue is the Indian banking regulations and privacy regulations do not permit Apple Pay to operate. The privacy and storage of data is a large issue and current Indian regulations do not permit Apple Pay to operate in India.
