Square Cash has just released the latest update to their iOS app now with further support and integration with iOS 10. The update today includes the ability for users to quickly send and request money from one another using either iMessage or Siri.

The update today takes advantage of the new iOS 10 features including the ability to send money through the Square Cash app using iMessage. Users can optionally chose to “gift wrap” the money so that when it’s sent it appears as a surprise to the recipient. Users can also request Siri to send or receive payments thanks to the new Siri SDK.
