Editor’s note: We used a Google Pixel 7 running Android 14 and an Apple iPhone 12 Mini running iOS 17.2 to develop these steps. That said, we had to get screenshots using the iPhone, as the Android Cash App application doesn’t allow us to take screenshots of some important pages. The steps are identical on both platforms, though.
