Trying to add the bay area clipper card for the BART. When I tap on transit cards, all I get are Chinese transit cards. I have tried all the prompts from previous posts but they don’t work.
I am traveling next month and I need to load my Clipper card into my phone. It is in my phone but it is not in my wallet
iPhone 5c, iOS 10
I checked my iPhone 7 Plus and it only has the option to add Chinese Express Transit cards to the Wallet. This is as I feared. iPhone 7 maxes out at iOS 15.8.2 and iOS 16 is what is required for the additional transit passes. You’ll need to upgrade your iPhone to a newer iPhone to take advantage of the additional features.

Change your phone country to USA, change your Apple cloud country to USA, restart your phone and now you’ll get option to add Clipper on your phone
Go into your wallet app, and press the + icon, and then select Clipper. If it is not there, you can go to the App Store, search for Clipper Card, select it, and the app will install on your device. Admittedly, I'm not sure if you need the Clipper Card app installed, but try these steps. They will work. Also, if you have an Apple Watch, you can download a Clipper Card on it. Keep in mind that the funds you add to your Clipper Card in your wallet app on your phone will not add funds to the Clipper Card stored on your watch. Those two cards work independently. Finally, if you tag in twice within 90 minutes on the same card, they Clipper system will initially appear to charge you twice, but it won't. You're only charged once within 90 minutes.
Clipper available on iPhone 8 or later with iOS 14.3, or Apple Watch Series 3 or later with watchOS 7.2 or later. You’re advised to check the model and system version of your device.
