To send money using Apple Pay, you primarily use Apple Cash, which is integrated into the Wallet and Messages apps on your iPhone or Apple Watch. Here's how to do it:
Sending Money via the Wallet App
- Open the Wallet app on your iPhone.
- Tap your Apple Cash card.
- Tap "Send" or "Request."
- Select or add the person you want to send money to.
- Tap "Next," then enter the amount you want to send.
- Tap "Send," then double-click the side button to pay.
- Confirm your payment with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. The money is sent immediately
Sending Money via Messages App
- Open the Messages app and start a new conversation or open an existing one with the recipient.
- Tap the "+" button or the apps button next to the message field.
- Select "Apple Cash."
- Enter the amount you want to send.
- Tap "Send," then double-click the side button to confirm.
- Confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. The recipient will receive the money instantly
Additional Tips
- You can use your Apple Cash balance or a linked debit card to send money.
- If you want to use a debit card instead of Apple Cash, you can switch the payment method before confirming the payment.
- On Apple Watch, open Messages, tap an existing conversation, tap the Apple Cash icon, adjust the amount, and double-click the side button to send
- You can also use "Tap to Cash" to send or receive Apple Cash with someone nearby without sharing contact details
Before sending money, ensure Apple Cash is set up and funded in your Wallet app, and that you have added a debit or credit card if needed
. This method provides a fast, secure, and convenient way to send money directly from your Apple device.
