How to contact Apple Support online

Get Support is Apple's main contact page. It asks a few questions first, then lists the ways you can reach an advisor for that exact problem.

  1. Open getsupport.apple.com in any browser.
  2. Select Sign in and enter your Apple Account to see your devices and repair coverage, or select See all products to continue without signing in.
  3. Choose the product that has the problem, such as iPhone, Mac or Apple Account.
  4. Pick the closest topic, or describe the issue in Tell us what's happening.
  5. Choose phone, chat or another contact option from the list Apple shows for that issue.
  6. Keep the page open until the advisor calls back or joins the chat.

The options change with the product, the topic and your country, so a missing option usually means it is not offered for that issue. To type instead of talk, chat with Apple Support from the same contact list.

How do I contact Apple Support on my iPhone

The free Apple Support app is the quickest route from an iPhone or iPad. Apple says you can chat with an advisor, follow guided solutions, and book a Genius Bar or service provider visit from it.

  1. Open the App Store and search for Apple Support.
  2. Install the app whose developer is listed as Apple, then open it.
  3. Sign in with your Apple Account if the app asks.
  4. Tap the iPhone, AirPods or service that needs help.
  5. Choose the topic, then pick chat, a call or a repair from the options shown.
  6. Follow the prompts to finish the chat, call or reservation.

The App Store listing states the app requires iOS 26.0 or later, and that it does not require an AppleCare+ plan. The app and some features are available only in select countries or regions.

How to contact Apple Support by email

Apple does not list a general support email address on its Contact Apple Support or Contacting Apple pages. Get Support says it can connect you by email for some issues, so email starts there.

  1. Open getsupport.apple.com and select Sign in.
  2. Choose your product, then the topic that matches the problem.
  3. Look for an email option in the contact list Apple shows.
  4. If email is not listed for that topic, use chat or phone from the same list instead.

Apple does publish addresses for reporting abuse. Forward suspicious emails or screenshots of fake Apple texts to [email protected], send screenshots of suspicious FaceTime calls to [email protected], and send iCloud Mail harassment to [email protected]. None of these addresses handle support requests.

How do I contact Apple Pay support and Apple Cash support

Apple Pay and Apple Cash have their own support pages, and card problems often belong to your bank rather than Apple.

Problem Who to contact Where
Adding, updating or removing a card in Wallet Apple support.apple.com/apple-pay, then Get started under Still need help?
A charge or declined payment on a bank card Your card issuer The number on your card or your bank's app; any card used in Apple Pay is offered by the card issuer

Apple Cash account restricted or locked Apple If your account is restricted or locked on the Apple Cash Support page
Apple Cash transfer to a bank Apple Transfer money to your bank on the Apple Cash Support page

Apple Cash services are provided by Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC, and are available only in the US. Wallet card problems have their own Apple Pay support contacts.

Contact Apple for iPhone support at a store or repair provider

Hardware faults need a technician. Apple retail stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers perform Apple-certified repairs with genuine Apple parts.

  1. Go to support.apple.com/repair and select Get started.
  2. Choose your product, such as iPhone or Mac laptops, and describe the problem.
  3. Pick a store visit, an Apple Authorized Service Provider or mail-in service from the options shown.
  4. Confirm the time and place, and bring the device with your Apple Account password.

Only repairs by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider are covered by Apple's Limited Warranty and AppleCare plans. To book in the Apple Support app instead, make a Genius Bar appointment from the device's topic page.

Fake Apple Support numbers and calls

Scammers spoof Apple's real phone numbers and often claim your iPhone or iCloud account was broken into, or that someone made Apple Pay charges. Apple states it will never ask for your password, device passcode or two-factor authentication code, and will never ask you to turn off a security feature.

Hang up on any unexpected call that claims to be Apple Support, then contact Apple yourself through getsupport.apple.com or the number on Apple's Contact Apple Support page. Caller ID can be faked, and the only safe Apple contact is one you start from Apple's own site or app.
