Why Is Apple Cash Not Working?
According to Downdetector, users reported issues with transferring funds to Apple Cash, which functions similarly to a bank by holding funds from recent Apple Pay transactions. Additionally, there were problems with making payments in general and accessing Apple Wallet.
Since Apple Cash is a digital card in Wallet, users can also use it for purchases in stores, online and in apps with Apple Pay.
