(And can someone please tell me why anyone wants a public social feed of Venmo payments?)

Yeah, it's insane that that's the default. But it's also super easy to lock it down so everything is private.

Just say PayPal. PayPal owns Venmo and it's marketed towards younger people that don't like PayPal. Same back end, just a different front end.

Good call. I will definitely start asking people to send me money using "Venmo by PayPal™" so everyone is clear on who owns it and runs the back end infrastructure. That's the important thing.

Not for Europe 😀

It would be anticompetitive in the EU.

It would be anticompetitive in the EU.

EU regulators are only ever concerned about US companies outcompeting their own inferior products and services.

Apple Cash doesn’t exist in the uk, as you can transfer funds to other people’s accounts in different banks, almost instantly (under £25k I think for individuals), using something called ‘faster payments’ - and it’s completely free.

US banks - take note.

So no new stickers for us. Aww. Not that I’ve used any for years anyway.

Some nice stickers. Will see whether they are available for me. Not sure if access is allowed in regions where Apple cash is not supported.

Good to see Apple making new emojis.

Sure, Siri and Apple Intelligence are still useless, but hey, emojis!

When Tim retires, they're going to make a movie about his life and will call it "The Emoji Movie".

Agree, but if someone wants to split a bill I'm not about to be like "can you please activate and set up Apple Cash for me because I think it's better".

How does everyone with an iPhone not have this set up? It’s so easy, and texting money is great!

I advocate for Apple Pay/Cash all the time, and everyone I’ve gotten to set it up likes it

Ya’ll know Apple doesn’t invent emojis, right? They’re part of the Unicode Standard, and if Apple didn’t create icons for the emojis when the standard is updated we would get jibberish when people with Androids or other OS’s send us emojis we don’t have

These stickers are a big nothing, just something fun for people to show appreciation for sending them cash. I’m glad some designer/intern got paid to do something fun

Are they even actually available? Haven’t seen anyone have them other than the image here.
