Why Don't I Have Apple Cash and What to Do

If you're wondering why you don't have Apple Cash, the first step is to check if your Apple device is eligible for the feature. Apple Cash is available on iPhone 6 or later models, iPad Pro or later, and Apple Watch Series 1 or later.

Make sure you have the latest version of iOS or watchOS installed on your device, as Apple Cash requires the latest software to function properly.

Apple Cash requires a valid debit or credit card to be linked to your Apple ID, and you need to be at least 18 years old to use the service.

If you've checked all these requirements and still don't have Apple Cash, you might want to try restarting your device or checking for any software updates.

To troubleshoot Apple Cash issues, start by checking the Apple System Status page to see if there are any ongoing outages or scheduled maintenance affecting Apple Cash.

If everything appears to be working on Apple's end, try turning off and on again, which can often refresh the connection and resolve minor glitches.

Make sure your Apple Cash is set to the correct country and language, especially if you're in the USA, where Apple Cash is widely supported.

Tap Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay > Turn on Apple Cash, and you may be asked to enter your Apple ID password.
