iOS 27 Will Add Two New Apple Wallet Features to Your iPhone
Apple is set to unveil iOS 27 during its WWDC 2026 keynote on Monday, June 8, and the update will reportedly include two new Apple Wallet features.
First, iOS 27 will reportedly let users create their own digital passes by scanning items like movie tickets, concert passes, and gym membership cards. Many apps already offer Apple Wallet passes, but now users will be able to create a custom pass for any ticket or membership card that is only available in a physical format, if and when necessary.
Second, the update will apparently make it easier for groups to split bills, such as when dining at a restaurant. In the Wallet and Messages apps, a person who paid a bill in full will be able to take a photo of the receipt, assign individual items to certain people, and then generate Apple Cash payment requests for the purpose of reimbursement.
Given the service is said to be tied to Apple Cash, which is currently available in the U.S. only, the feature might not be available internationally.
The first developer beta of iOS 27 should be available immediately after the WWDC 2026 keynote, and a public beta typically follows in July. The update should be widely released to all users with a compatible iPhone in September.
