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 a digital version isn’t available for the Wallet app, you can create one using the physical pass you have. The same goes for other cards, such as the membership card.
The Wallet app can use Visual Intelligence to scan your card and will match it to a template with matching fields that you can edit before adding it to your Wallet.
Alternatively, you can create the pass manually, choose a template (“Subscription,” “Event,” or “Custom”), and then change the color and other details. All you have to do is scan the barcode or QR code from your physical pass.
Each template includes relevant information such as name, location or admission type. There are 12 background colors to choose from or seven custom backgrounds for categories such as theater, music, sports and movies.
Fields can be added or removed when creating a custom pass, with options like label, date, membership, contact, coupon code, VIN, insurance and more, so most physical cards should be able to be stored digitally.
Here’s how to create a pass with Visual Intelligence:
- Open the Wallet app on your iPhone and tap + button at the top.
- Choose Create a passage.
- To allow Visual Intelligence to scan the card, tap Continuethen take a photo on the next screen.
- After Visual Intelligence matches the pass to a template, tap Edit passage.
- Use the palette icon in the bottom left corner to change the look of the pass: you can choose the background color or use an image from your Photos library. Tap the icon in the bottom right corner to add or remove fields.
- Tap the blue checkmark at the top when you’re done.
Your personalized pass will now be added to your Wallet, ready for use. To change it at any time, simply select it in Wallet, tap the three dots in the top right corner of the screen, then tap Edit passage.
