If you sent Apple Cash using Messages to a person, the only means of getting your money back is by asking them to send it back to you. It is a private transaction between 2 parties and just like giving someone on the street cash. That is why Apple says to only send Apple Cash to people you know.


Apple Cash person-to-person payments are like any other private transaction between two people, so only send and receive money with people you know.
