iOS 27 adds six new features to Apple Wallet on your iPhone

The upcoming iOS 27 update revealed by Apple this week includes many new features and improvements for Apple’s Wallet app on iPhone.

Below, we’ve outlined six additions to the Apple Wallet app in iOS 27.

New features

Improved passes

iOS 26 introduced improved Apple Wallet boarding passes, and iOS 27 will gradually expand this improved experience to all other card types in the app, including for loyalty cards, rewards, memberships, and gift cards.

Newer passes have a raised design with more detailed background images, and thumbnails underneath provide relevant information.

Apple has introduced a new macOS app called Pass Designer for creating and previewing passes.

Pass Designer is available in beta on macOS 27.

Upgraded Hotel Keys

iOS 27 supports enhanced Apple Wallet digital keys at participating hotels and resorts. You can view more details about your trips, receive updates on booked activities, access services available during your stay, and much more. Apple has not shared a list of hotel brands or locations that will offer these enhanced keys.

Create passes

You can now create personalized passes in Apple Wallet by scanning physical cards, like loyalty or membership cards.

With the new Siri Mode in the Camera app, you can simply point your iPhone at any physical card with a barcode and save it to Apple Wallet. Once added, passes are ready to be presented as a barcode or QR code directly from iPhone.

New types of barcodes

Apple Wallet passes can display four new barcode types: EAN-13, Code 39, Codabar and ITF.

Split your bills with Apple Cash

In the United States only, iOS 27 lets you share your bills with a new feature powered by Apple Cash and Apple Intelligence. This feature is available in the Apple Wallet and Messages apps, or by using the new Siri Mode in the Camera app.

“When users point their iPhone at a receipt using Siri Mode, it can bring up the appropriate action to share a bill with Apple Cash and identify the items on the receipt,” Apple said. “As users select their items, their total payment is calculated, including their share of tax and tip, so they can pay off exactly what they owe with Apple Cash.”

Wallet order tracking in more countries

Starting with iOS 27, Apple Wallet’s order tracking feature is available in Australia and Canada. This feature was previously limited to the US and UK.

Apple shared a video from WWDC 2026 outlining new features coming to the Wallet app this year, and has a page on its developer website with more details.

iOS 27 Availability

iOS 27 is currently available in developer beta, with a public beta to follow in July. The update is expected to be released to all users in September.

iOS 27 is compatible with iPhone 11 series and newer.
