Apple has recently released the iOS 17.4 update for beta testers, which comes with some exciting changes and features. One notable change is for Apple Cash users, who can now create virtual card numbers for online shopping where Apple Pay is not accepted.

With this new feature, Apple Cash users on iOS 17.4 beta can enjoy improved security and convenience when making online purchases. Here are some key points to note about this update:

– Apple Card customers will be prompted with a message to “Set Up Virtual Card Number,” highlighting improved security with a new security code for every transaction.
– This functionality mirrors what has been available for the Apple Card credit card since its launch.
– The virtual card feature is currently accessible to Apple Card users participating in the beta, but it’s uncertain whether it will be made more widely available upon the official release of iOS 17.4 or reserved for a formal feature launch in the future.

Apple Cash, a prepaid debit card, has previously been restricted to use solely with Apple Pay and lacked a visible card number. However, with this new update, users can now access features like viewing the card number, generating new card numbers, security codes, and more.

It’s important to note that as of now, this virtual card feature is only available to beta testers. Whether it will be made more widely available upon the official release of iOS 17.4 or reserved for a formal feature launch in the future remains uncertain.

In other related news, Apple recently announced that its US-exclusive Apple Card has surpassed 12 million customers and increased the interest rate for savings accounts to 4.5%.

We’re excited about these updates and look forward to seeing how they enhance the user experience for our customers using iPhones and other Apple devices. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting changes!
