iOS 17.4 will bring a new emoji pack, a simple way to check battery life, as well as improvements to the Stolen Device Protection feature. Additionally, the feature brings significant changes for users in the European Union.

However, the news doesn't stop there. With this launch, Apple will provide payment capabilities to third-party banking apps. This change is very important, because until then, the iPhone only allowed the use of Apple Play.

Therefore, Apple is now offering several ways to make payments for apps, with the first beta of iOS 17.4. To do this, you need:

• Go to settings
• Then click on Privacy and Security
• Then in the option “Proximity and NFC (Near Field Communication).”
• Tapping on this item will open a practically empty tab, but with the warning that the page will display applications that have requested permission to use contactless payments and NFC.

European Union

This way, users in the European Economic Area (EEA) who already have an iPhone running iOS 17.4 will be able to make payments from any banking app or wallet app.

However, it should be noted that applications that emulate cards, and software-based solutions, may be more vulnerable to vector attack. This is because payment transaction tokens, like other financial data, can somehow be exposed to untrustworthy entities. In this way, Apple reinforces the need for users to be aware of potential scams. However, those who prefer to continue using Apple Pay will continue to use the widget option on their iPhones.
