Apple has started rolling out Apple Pay Cash to iOS 11.2 users in the United States.
Now you can use Apple Pay to pay and get paid right in Messages, or by asking Siri. There’s no app to download, and you can use the cards you already have in Wallet. Send money for books to your son in college. Split a bill. Pay a babysitter. Send and receive from across the table — or across the country. Instantly.

Apple should release watchOS 4.2 this week which will also bring support for Apple Pay Cash. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
