iPhone and Apple Watch users who prefer paying with Apple Cash over other apps like Venmo can now send or receive money in person using Tap to Cash. All transactions using this method are private, which means your phone number and email aren't shared with the other party. Let's see how you can use Tap to Cash.
Requirements
To use Tap to Cash, you and the other person must have an iPhone that's been updated to iOS 18 or an Apple Watch running watchOS 11. Naturally, you should have a verified Apple Cash account already set up. Using cellular data is fine if you're not connected to Wi-Fi.
It's important to remember that you can only send or receive a maximum of $2,000 per seven-day period. The minimum amount you can send is $1, and the maximum is $2,000. These limits are unique to Tap to Cash, and if you need to pay more, you must swap to Messages.
Apple Cash is currently only available in the US. For those outside the US, you'll have to rely on other payment methods. Venmo is also US-only.
Tap to Cash on iPhone
On your iPhone, open the Wallet app and look for your Apple Cash card. Note that you won't be able to do this by double-clicking your iPhone's side button to get into Apple Pay — you'll need to unlock your phone and open the Wallet app directly. Select "Send or Request" and then tap "Tap to Cash." You can then enter the desired amount to pay the recipient, and there's an option to add a note specifying the payment's reason or context. Tap "Next" to proceed.
You'll now have to doub

Take that, iPhone thieves — Apple is about to make it even more difficult to use its smartphones when you have no right to do so. In the upcoming iOS 17.3, it is testing out a new security system called "Stolen Device Protection."
Here's a look at what this is, and what it does.
Stolen Device Protection explained
Apple's beta notes explain: "Stolen Device Protection adds an additional layer of security in the unlikely case that someone has stolen your iPhone and also obtained your passcode."
The company explains the features this way:
Accessing your saved passwords requires Face/Touch ID to be sure it's you.
Changing sensitive settings like your Apple ID password is protected by a security delay.
No delay is required when iPhone is at familiar locations such as home and work.
The idea is that Stolen Device Protection introduces another obstacle that makes it difficult for thieves to gain access to your data, erase it, or delete the device to factory fresh status for resale.
