Apple Cash Not Working: Troubleshooting the Apple Cash Glitch

Apple Cash is a convenient way to send and receive money, but sometimes it can malfunction. This glitch can be frustrating, especially if you're counting on Apple Cash for a transaction.

To troubleshoot the issue, first check if your Apple Cash account is activated. According to Apple's guidelines, you must have a valid debit card or bank account linked to your Apple ID to use Apple Cash.

If your account is activated, try restarting your phone or tablet, as this simple step can resolve many connectivity issues. I've personally experienced this solution working for me on multiple occasions.

Another possible cause of the glitch is a weak internet connection. Ensure that your device is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network or has a strong cellular signal.

If you're experiencing a payment glitch like the one described in the example, it's a good idea to check your Apple account settings first.

Make sure your payment method is up to date and active. If you're using a credit or debit card, check that it's not expired or declined.

The user in the example was able to buy something in a game without being charged, suggesting that the payment method may not have been set to automatically charge for in-game purchases.

When you're having trouble with Apple Cash, it's essential to check the Family settings. If you have Apple Cash Family, your account will stop working if the Family organizer locks it, and there's no way to unlock it yourself.

You'll need to talk to your Family organizer to see why your account was locked and ask them to unlock it. This can be frustrating, but it's a good opportunity to communicate with your family and resolve any issues.

Make sure to check the Apple Cash Family settings to see if your account was locked. If it was, you'll need to resolve the issue with your Family organizer.

If you've encountered a payment glitch like the user who tried buying something in a game but wasn't charged, you can try checking your Apple account payment website for a "still pending" status.

Payment issues can be frustrating, but in some cases, they can be resolved by simply checking your payment settings.

If you're experiencing a payment glitch, try going to your Apple account payment website to see if the issue has been resolved.

You can also try checking your game's store or app to see if the payment has been processed, even if it's not showing up on your Apple account website.

In some cases, payment issues can be caused by a payment method being declined or expired, so make sure to check your payment information to see if that's the issue.

If you're still having trouble, you can try contacting Apple support for further assistance.

iOS glitches have been a common issue for Apple users, and Apple Cash is no exception. Apple Pay has had its fair share of glitches, including a recent one in iOS 14 where users received a "Suspected Fraud" message when trying to send money to friends.

Some users have reported that the "Send Anyway" and "Don't send" buttons are mislabeled in the new iOS, causing confusion. This was a frustrating experience for one user who spent two hours on the phone with Apple support without finding a solution.

If you're experiencing issues with Apple Cash, updating your device may resolve the problem. As mentioned in the update section, checking for OS updates and installing the latest version can fix several issues, including Apple Cash not working as intended.

In the past, Apple has had issues with its iOS updates, including a glitch in iOS 11.2 that allowed users to permanently delete the Apple Pay Cash feature. This feature was introduced in iOS 11.2 and enabled users to wirelessly transfer money via iMessage.

To avoid losing access to Apple Pay Cash, be careful when disabling the feature in iMessage. If you do accidentally delete it, you'll need to wipe your device to restore it.
