iPhone 15 and magstripe not working

KeepMeInStitche — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 07:12:42 GMT

I have an iPhone 15 Plus and I am using a lightening adaptor with my 1st generation Square Magstripe. When I click Review Sale and then "Charge $$" only the Tap to Pay is enabled, the Square is greyed out and I cannot swipe a card.

Everything is snapped - no case

Bluetooth on

HELP!

Hi @KeepMeInStitche

I would recommend getting the new Square Reader for Magstripe (USB-C). This should eliminate the need for an adapter and be more reliable.
