Samsung Pay is compatible with both Galaxy devices and non-Samsung smartphones, in contrast to Apple's digital payment system, which can only be used with the Apple Wallet app. On the other hand, a number of users are now claiming to be having serious difficulties logging into their Samsung Pay apps on non-Samsung handsets. On non-Galaxy devices, there's a potential that Samsung Pay has ceased functioning. Here are some specifics.

Users on their non-Samsung, Android cellphones, consumers who relied on Samsung Pay began to experience problems with the system. Some of them experienced the same issue on their Galaxy Watch models, including the Galaxy Watch 4, while the majority of them encountered the "ID not valid" message while signing into their accounts via the Samsung Pay app on their smartphones.

One user reported the same on Samsung's official forum. Later, after they raised their concerns with Samsung, the manufacturer gave a statement to the effect that "the Samsung Pay usage on other phones has been adjusted. As a result, only supported Samsung phone models can use Samsung Pay; earlier, it was still available for other Android phones.

Now, saying that other Android phones won't continue to accept Samsung Pay is a big assertion given how many customers rely on the digital payment system on their non-Samsung handsets. Samsung would have formally announced its intention to stop supporting Samsung Pay on other Android devices much earlier if it had such plans. Therefore, we anticipate that Samsung made a mistake in the response that the affected individual shared. If it is accurate, Samsung will face heavy criticism and user outrage, though.

The "invalid ID" problem on Samsung Pay has not yet been linked to a specific cause. It is important to note, though, that Samsung recently unveiled a new Samsung Wallet software for Galaxy devices that supports Samsung Pay. In the regions where it is now accessible, the firm stated at the time that customers of Samsung Pay or Samsung Pass will be transitioned automatically to the new Samsung Wallet software on their Galaxy devices. Therefore, the problems with Samsung Pay on non-Samsung smartphones could be a result of the new migration system. Despite the fact that nothing suggests it at the moment.
