iOS 11 Features: Apple Pay, AR, Design Changes

iOS 11 brings numerous features and improvements to Apple devices, including Apple Pay Cash, augmented reality, a new Control Center and Live Photos. Updates to iOS 11 also brought some changes.

Apple Pay Cash

iOS 11 was released a few months ago, but the Apple Pay Cash features were recently launched this month with iOS 11.2. Apple Pay Cash brings person-to-person payments on iOS devices. Users can send and receive money directly on iMessage. The funds users receive are stored in the Apple Pay Cash card in the Wallet app. That money can then be used to send money to contacts on the iMessage app, to make purchases in stores or online, or users can transfer the money to their bank account. Apple Pay Cash transactions can be viewed on the Wallet app. More tips on how to use Apple Pay can be found here.

Augmented Reality

Apple introduced the ARKit in June during its Worldwide Developer Conference. The kit allows developers to create augmented reality apps for iOS 11. AR apps are currently available in the App Store and can be used with iOS devices on iOS 11. Here are some AR apps to check out.
