Finding Apple Wallet app on iPad Air 2 & Mini 3

The Wallet app is not included on any iPad model...the app is only usable with the iPhone.

You can still use Apple Pay...

Settings/Wallet & Apple Pay

You just can't use the Wallet app on the iPad.

Apple Pay is only compatible on Touch ID capable iPad devices like the mini 3, mini 4, Air 2 and iPad Pro. Payment is accomplished "in-apps" and not "in-stores" like the compatible iPhones are capable of. There is no need for the Wallet app with the iPad, that's why it's not provided.

Scroll down to the section: "Use Apple Pay in these apps"

"There is no need for the Wallet app with the iPad, that's why it's not provided."

That is patently absurd. I have never owned an iPhone. I have used iPad mini since it's debut. I carry it everywhere, and use it for everything (including making phone calls w/Ooma app And Google Voice). Everything, that is, except brick and mortar purchases. Thanks, Apple, for embarrassing me in front of my Android Pay-using friends.

Trying to imagine the rationale for that decision. They think we would never carry an iPad to a B&M location, even after they design them to be highly portable? I always have mine in airports, where I often make purchases and usually need to display my electronic boarding pass. Apple thinks it makes sense to make me bring out a second device?

No iPad has the near field communication system to allow the wallet app to be used with store payment scanners. Without the hardware to support the use of the app, there's no point having the app.

Whether iPads will ever get NFC systems is not known, but I'm sure if they ever do, the wallet app would be available to use with them.

Now THAT is useful information and makes logical sense. How come it took so long to get to the info that is at the core of the issue? Thanks for filling us in!
