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

iOS 27 is again rumored to include a useful new feature for the Wallet app. A new report today says iOS 27 will add a “Create a Pass” feature to the Wallet app, allowing users to convert physical passes to digital ones. Here’s how it will work.

Today’s report from Bloomberg adds more details to an earlier leak about this same feature. Bloomberg explains that the “Create a Pass” feature will let users “take a QR code and generate a custom pass around it.”

“The capability is designed for situations where, for example, a gym or concert app provides a QR code for entry but doesn’t support the Wallet app,” the report says. “With the new tool, users can import that code and create their own pass.”

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

There will be multiple customization options, including different templates, colors, images, icons, and more:

Users can create a pass from scratch or rely on the iPhone’s camera to take a QR code and turn it into a digital ticket. The feature includes customization tools for styles, images, colors and text fields, allowing users to tailor the information displayed on each pass.

Apple is testing three template options: standard, membership and event. Standard, in orange, is a default option for any type of pass, while membership, in blue, is geared toward entering places like gyms. The event pass, in purple, is meant for tickets to games, movies and other occasions.

iOS 27 will be announced at WWDC, which kicks off in just over a month on June 8. What do you think of this new Wallet feature? Let us know down in the comments.
