The Apple Wallet<\/a> will allow users to create passes in iOS 27, taking QR passes from physical passes to create digital versions. <\/p>\n

The Apple Wallet can be used to handle credit and debit cards, store cards, digital keys, and digital passes from third-party apps. However, not everyone who provides users with passes does so while supporting the Apple Wallet. <\/p>\n

In iOS 27<\/a>, that will change, as Bloomberg reports<\/a> that Apple will be adding a pass-building tool. People familiar with the feature explain that users can generate a custom pass for Apple Wallet from a QR code. <\/p>\n

The intention is for it to be used by apps that use QR codes, but don’t have the all-important Apple Wallet pass support. <\/p>\n

To use the tool, users can add a card as usual using the plus symbol, and then use a new prompt. The prompt states it can be used to “create passes for tickets, memberships, gift cards, and more.” <\/p>\n

The process can create a pass from scratch, or by capturing an image of a QR code using the camera. They are then presented with customization tools, including various styles, images, colors, and text fields. <\/p>\n

Three templates will be provided with Standard passes defaulting to orange. Membership passes will be set to blue initially, while purple will be used for event passes. <\/p>\n

This is not the first time that the idea of custom passes has been floated about iOS 27. It previously appeared<\/a> in a code leak from April 16, alongside new Visual Intelligence features. <\/p>\n

Bloomberg’s reporting at least makes the leak appear to be more genuine, <\/p>\n

While we will have to wait until WWDC<\/a> or beyond to check the feature out, users can already do something similar<\/a>. Pass2U is a Wallet management app that can create passes usable in the Wallet app. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Apple Wallet will allow users to create passes in iOS 27, taking QR passes from physical passes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":647949,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[49,48,190,61],"class_list":["post-647948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=647948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/647949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=647948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=647948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=647948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
