Apple Wallet in iOS 27 adds feature that’s been on my wishlist for years
iOS 27 adds a variety of new features and changes for Apple Wallet, including one that’s been on my wishlist for years: the ability to import physical passes.
Apple's newest iOS 27 update brings a long-awaited enhancement to Apple Wallet, fulfilling a wish many have had for quite some time. The new feature allows users to import physical passes, tickets, and membership cards directly into the Wallet app, eliminating the need to carry around multiple physical items. iPhone and Apple Watch users can now create and store these passes in Apple Wallet, ensuring they're always within reach.
By scanning a physical card with a barcode or even a digital screenshot, users can save the pass into their digital wallet with the aid of Siri mode in the Camera app. Once added, these passes can be presented as a barcode or QR code directly from their iPhone or Apple Watch. The shift to digital passes is becoming more prevalent, but there are still businesses and events that rely on physical passes. iOS 27 addresses this concern by enabling users to store these physical passes digitally, thereby reducing the mental burden of remembering to bring them.
Users are now able to put everything in the Wallet app, providing a single solution for all their wallet needs.
