Square Inc. made this app. It changes how you move money. It is fast and simple. The app is small (about 60 MB). It works on most Android phones.

What Does It Do?

Cash App is a digital wallet. You do not need to go to a bank. You do not need to talk to a teller.

You link your debit card to the app. Then, you can send cash to friends.

• Old way: Wait 2 or 3 days.
• Cash App way: It happens in seconds.

How to Start

Setting up is fast. It takes a few minutes.

1. Download the App: Use the Play Store.
2. Sign Up: Use your phone number or email.
3. Make a Cash Tag: This is your username. It starts with a "$". Example: $JohnDoe123.
4. Share It: Give your tag to friends. They can send you money.

You also get a QR code. Friends can scan it with their phones. This is faster than typing.

• Instant Transfer: Costs money. The fee is $1.75\%$.
• Credit Cards: Costs money. The fee is $3\%$.

Safety First

Money apps can be risky. You must be safe.

• Use a PIN: Set a code to open the app.
• Use Face ID: This stops other people from opening your app.
• Check the Name: Before you hit send, check the name. If you send money to the wrong person, you might not get it back.
• Watch for Scams: Real support will never ask for your password. Never give your code to strangers.

Common Problems

App Won't Open

If the app is stuck, close it fully. Then try again. If that fails, clear the app cache in your phone settings.

Payment is Pending

Sometimes the bank is slow. Wait a few hours. It usually goes through.

Verification Limits

New accounts have limits. You can only send a little money at first. To send more, you must prove who you are. You will need to give your name and social security number.

Should You Get It?

Yes, if:

• You live in the USA.
• You want to pay friends fast.
• You want a free debit card.

No, if:

• You need to send money to other countries.
• You want to talk to support on the phone. Cash App has no phone support.

Final Thought

Cash App is a good tool. It is not perfect, but it works well. It is great for splitting bills or paying rent. Just be careful and keep your PIN safe.
