In April, we highlighted a new Wallet app option to add your own card, available in iOS 27, and now Bloomberg shared additional information. At the time, we reported that Apple was working on a feature that would allow users to generate digital passes from scans of items like movie tickets, concert passes, and gym membership cards.
The option will be called “Create Pass” and will bridge the gap between the Wallet app and passes that aren’t compatible with it. Users will be able to tap the “+” button in the Wallet app, then scan a QR code on a pass or ticket if one exists. If no QR code is available, there will be an option to create a personalized pass.
Text in the app suggests the feature will work for tickets, memberships, gift cards and more. There are three types of passes, each with a different color. Apple uses purple for events, blue for memberships, and orange for other pass types. Users will be able to customize the images, colors, style and text of digital passes.
The new Wallet option is one of several features available in iOS 27, which will be previewed at Apple’s WWDC event in June. More information on what to expect from iOS 27 can be found in our roundup.
