Canceling Apple Cash Payment: A Step-by-Step Guide

To cancel an Apple Cash payment, you'll need to access the Wallet app on your iPhone or iPad.

Open the Wallet app and tap on the Apple Cash card.

From there, tap on the "More" tab and select "Send & Receive."

Next, tap on the transaction you want to cancel and select "Cancel Payment."

To cancel an Apple Cash payment, you need to act quickly, as pending payments can often be canceled within a short time frame before the funds are fully transferred.

You can cancel a pending Apple Cash payment by finding the transaction in the Wallet app or Messages app and tapping the “Cancel Payment” option. This will stop the payment from being processed.

If the Cancel Payment option isn't visible, it means the person has already accepted the payment, and you'll need to ask them to send the money back. Fortunately, Apple Cash is designed for sending and receiving money from friends, family, and known people, so they should have no hesitation in returning any extra payment.
