Does anyone face NFC tapping issues with Google Wallet? I've been facing these issues since I bought this device. It says "keep close to reader or tap machine," but when I do so, it doesn't catch properly. I have to do it many times. Please let me know any updates.

You may facing an issue as simple as a "Columbus egg" case.
NFC sensor on your device may not be placed on the part of your device you tap against the scanner.
Tapping the centre back area of your device against the NfC scanner may help!

So you think I'm doing this for the first time ? I try many times with different part of scanners but still the same. Once In a while it hit the right spot.

For example the new S26U comes with two NFC sensors only to improve this issue. You are not alone out there!
I hope that's the only reason behind your struggles!

Thanks mate 👏

If you go into Settings-> Connections-> NFC you can see an animation showing where the NFC is located for your device.

It could be a simple issue as @NSter noted above.
