How Does Apple Pay Work in iMessage?
Asked by
CactusJack88
So, my friend just sent me a message about what I owe him from the weekend, and I noticed there was an Apple Pay option right in the chat. I've heard of sending money with Apple Pay, but can someone explain how it actually works? Do I need to set it up separately, or will it automatically use a card I have saved? Also, does my friend need to do anything to receive the payment? This seems super handy for sending cash without needing to share Venmo info.

Yep, it’s similar to Venmo but it’s less public. In the US, Apple Cash is actually really user-friendly and secure. Just make sure you’ve added a payment method to get started!

It’s called Apple Cash! Think of it like Venmo or Cash App, but it's all through Apple. Just a heads up, you’ll need to set it up first before you can send money directly in iMessage.

Unfortunately, I can't even use it where I live in the EU 😢
TravelBug42: From what I've heard, it's probably not coming to Europe anytime soon since Apple would need to basically act like a bank, and that's a whole regulatory mess.
