When Apple released iOS 17.4 on March 5, the update brought some bug fixes to your iPhone, as well as a number of new features such as more stolen device protection settings and podcast transcriptions. One of the features included in the update is Apple Cash virtual card numbers, allowing you to use Apple Pay in more places online.
According to Litter, Apple Cash is a digital card in your iPhone's Wallet app that can be used to purchase items in physical and digital stores, as well as in apps that accept Apple Pay. But now with iOS 17.4, you can generate virtual card numbers to use in digital stores that don't accept Apple Pay. However, it is important to note that Apple Cash does not support some merchant categories, such as cash-like transactions.
