Last month, we learned about a new feature for adding cards to the Apple Wallet app coming with iOS 27.Now, Bloomberg has shared additional details. At the time, it was reported that Apple was working on a feature that would allow Wallet users to create digital passes from scans of items like movie tickets, concert passes, and gym membership cards.
The option will be called “Create a Pass” and will bridge the gap between the Wallet app and non-Wallet compatible passes. Users will be able to tap the “+” button in the Wallet app and then scan a QR code on a pass or ticket (if available). If a QR code is not available, there will be the option to create a custom pass.
