14 DAY TRIAL // Apple Pay Cash, the service that lets you send and receive money via text messages in the Messages app in iOS 11, is now rolling out to all iPhone users in the US.
The latest iOS 11.2 software update that Apple released over the weekend for all supported iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices brought us Apple Pay Cash, a feature that Apple promised since early this summer when it unveiled the iOS 11 operating system during WWDC 2017.
Previously available in the iOS 11.2 public beta through the Apple Beta Software Program, Apple Pay Cash is today rolling out to all iPhone users who managed to install the latest iOS 11.2 update. The feature works via the Messages app and money are stored in the Wallet app.
Here's how to get started with Apple Pay Cash
First things first, to use Apple Pay Cash, you need to update your iPhone device to the iOS 11.2 software update. To do that, open the Settings app, go to the General section and tap on Software Updates. Download and install the iOS 11.2 update from there (your device will be rebooted a couple of times).
Once iOS 11.2 is installed on your iPhone, you need to add a debit or credit card in the Wallet app. Now that you card is added, you can start sending money via the Messages app to your friends and family, which is as simple as sending a text message. You can also use Apple Pay Cash to purchase apps in the App Store.
In addition, you can send money directly from your Apple Pay Cash balance to your bank, select which devices can use Apple Pay Cash, view your transactions, check your card details, and much more without leaving the Wallet app. Check out the Apple Pay Cash website for more details on how to use this feature.
