How to send money on Apple Pay
Sending money on Apple Pay is a relatively simple and secure process. To initiate a transaction, users need to open the Apple Wallet app on their iPhone or iPad and click on the "+" button found at the upper right corner of the screen. From there, they can select the option to send money to another individual.
Users must then choose between using Apple Pay Cash or an eligible debit card connected to their device. Next, they enter the desired amount of money and confirm the payment by either typing in a security passcode or using Touch ID or Face ID biometric authentication – depending on device capabilities. Finally, users can review their payment details one last time before tapping on "send." It is worth noting that both parties involved must have compatible devices and be signed in with their Apple accounts for this feature to work seamlessly. Additionally, it is advisable to confirm with the recipient whether they are comfortable sharing their email address or phone number associated with their Apple account before initiating any transactions.
