Apple Cash users are in for a treat with the upcoming iOS 17.4 update, as it introduces the new Virtual Card Number feature. This latest feature will allow users to make purchases online, even when Apple Pay is not an option.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what you can expect from this new feature:
– With the Virtual Card Number feature, users can now set up a virtual card number to shop online, providing more flexibility in how they use their Apple Cash funds.
– Previously, Apple Cash was limited to use with Apple Pay only, without any card number available. But with this update, users can generate a virtual card number to make online purchases.
– The new feature also enhances security by generating a new security code for every transaction. Users can easily access this card number in Safari AutoFill.
While the feature is currently available to beta testers, it may not be accessible to all Apple Cash accounts yet. However, it is expected to roll out widely when iOS 17.4 launches to the general public in early March.
It’s worth noting that although Apple Card is currently only available in the U.S., there were rumors last year that American Express might take over the Apple Card portfolio. This could potentially pave the way for similar features and updates in Canada.
