Create a personalized pass in the Wallet app on iPhone

In iOS 27, Apple’s Wallet app lets you create custom passes for things like event tickets, gift cards, loyalty cards, and more. Here’s how it works.

If you have a ticket for an event and no digital version is available for the Wallet app, you can create one using the physical pass you have. The same goes for other cards, such as a membership card for example.

The Wallet app can use “visual intelligence” to scan your card, and it will match it to a template with corresponding fields that you can edit before adding it to your wallet.

You can also create the pass manually, choose a template (“Membership,” “Event,” or “Custom”), then adjust the color and other details. All you have to do is scan the barcode or QR code of your physical pass.

Each template includes relevant information such as name, location or admission type. You can choose from 12 background colors or seven custom backgrounds for categories like theater, music, sports, and movies.

Fields can be added or removed when creating a personalized pass, with options such as label, date, membership, contact, promo code, VIN, insurance, etc., so most physical cards should be able to be stored digitally.

Here’s how to create a pass with ‌Visual Intelligence‌:

1. Open the Wallet app on your iPhone and tap the button + button at the top.
2. Choose Create a pass.
   
3. To let Visual Intelligence analyze the pass, tap Continuethen take a photo of it on the next screen.
   
4. After Visual Intelligence matches the pass to a pattern, tap Edit pass.
5. Use the palette icon in the lower left corner to change the appearance of the pass: you can change the background color or use an image from your photo library. Tap the icon in the lower right corner to add or remove fields.
   
6. Tap the blue checkmark at the top when you’re done.

Your personalized pass will now be added to your wallet, ready to use. To change it at any time, simply select it in Wallet, tap the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen, then tap Edit pass.
