iOS 27: Apple Wallet adding new ‘Create a Pass’ feature, per report

Source: 9to5Mac

iOS 27 is rumored to include a useful new feature for the Wallet app. A recent report says iOS 27 will add a “Create a Pass” feature, allowing users to convert physical passes to digital ones.

Create a Pass feature

How it works

According to a report from Bloomberg, the feature will let users take a QR code and generate a custom pass around it. This is aimed at situations where, for example, a gym or concert app provides a QR code for entry but doesn’t support the Wallet app. Users can import that code and create their own pass.

The new tool will be accessible via the “+” button in the Wallet app, in the same menu where you currently add new credit cards.

Customization options

The feature includes multiple customization tools:

• Different templates
• Colors, images, icons
• Text fields and other styling options

Users can create a pass from scratch or rely on the iPhone’s camera to scan a QR code and turn it into a digital ticket. The customization tools let users tailor the information displayed on each pass.

Templates

Apple is testing three template options:

• Standard (orange) – a default option for any type of pass
• Membership (blue) – geared toward entry passes for places like gyms
• Event (purple) – intended for tickets to games, movies, and other occasions

iOS 27 is expected to be announced at WWDC, which kicks off on June 8.
