The much awaited Apple Pay Cash feature has finally been released by the Cupertino-based company. It’s true only to iOS 11.2 beta testers for now, but this means that the official release is only a few weeks away. So, if you want to start using this new person-to-person money transfer feature you first have to upgrade to iOS 11.2 Public Beta 2 and have iOS contacts that are also early adopters.

Next, you have to set up the Apple Pay Cash service via the Wallet app. Open it from your iPhone’s or iPad’s Home screen and tap on the new Apple Pay Cash Card that’s available. Go through the setup process and you’re ready to go. The service can also be activated from the Settings app. Browse for Wallet -> Apple Pay -> Apple Pay Cash and enable the service with the help of the On/Off toggle.

Apple Pay Cash Requirements

  • Before you start you have to know that currently the service works only within the United States. You also need to own a credit / debit card and a social security number.
  • Not all iPhones are compatible. You need to own an iPhone 6 or later to be able to send money via iMessages.
  • Two-factor authentication must be turned on on your device.
  • You must be at least 18 years old to be able to send & receive payments via Apple Pay Cash.
