Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Why does Apple Cash allow payments to be sent to minors but it won't allow them to set up Apple Cash because they must be 18? Apple then forces the user to lie and change the birth day or you will need to wait 7 days before it is sent back. Why is this allowed?
Thank you for your response @ askbarnabas, but I am not looking for people's opinion, I am looking for facts.
In the past, if you did not have Apple Cash set up the system will alert you with the following message "<insert name> cannot receive payments sent with Apple Pay at this time". Now, it lets you send cash even though the user has never set up Apple Cash. If the user is under 18, you have to wait 7 days for the funds to be sent back. This is not right. Why the change? Could it be because it automatically forces users to set-up Apple Cash? And if they're under 18, Apple gets to use the funds for 7 days? Did Apple discover a revenue generating opportunity even though it negatively impacts their user?
lol...my apologies for my first response, I allowed my emotions get the best of me. I am just upset that in this case, Apple's interest is in the revenue not the end user. They can easily stop that transfer from going thru knowing very well that the end user is a minor. Take care and again, my apologies.
iOS 14 just added Apple Cash Family. not sure the details but it may fix everything you were concerned about. Set up and use Apple Cash Family
Apple cannot help that people lie. Anyone who reads the terms and conditions will see that you have to be at least 18 to legally use Apple Cash. https://applecash.greendot.com/termsconditions/
Thank you!
You are welcome. I was expecting a different response. So I appreciate that. Have a great day.
I do know that Greendot has been cracking down on those who initially lied and have to verify their ID to remove the restriction placed on their Apple Cash.
