Wallet’s gain with Apple Intelligence goes hand-in-hand with a feature many users long desired: the capability to add any pass to Wallet, not just ones that generate the Wallet-formatted membership cards, loyalty cards, rewards cards, and other kinds of things that you can add via a website or an app.
Wallet lets you add these manually, but the real power comes in a new feature added in iOS 27, using Visual Intelligence. (Wallet is available only on iPhone.) You can scan a card via the camera to turn it into a pass. Here’s how:
- Open the Wallet app.
- Tap the Add button.
- Tap Create a Pass.
- Tap Continue.
- Point the camera at the side of the card that has its barcode or QR code, then tap the shutter button. If Visual Intelligence can’t parse the card, it asks you to tap Try Again, Create Pass Manually, or Cancel.
- When successful, Wallet shows you a preview of the pass.
- You can now tap the Add button, and the pass is placed in your wallet.
If the card lacks a barcode or QR code, enter that information manually by tapping Create Pass Manually in the previous step.
Customize a pass
If you want to customize your pass, tap Edit Pass. Then you can:
- Tap any white, slightly glowing rectangle, and edit the contents. Be sure to tap the portions of the field that contain text, numbers, or a barcode or QR code. If you tap the code field, Wallet brings up a camera to capture (or re-capture) the code.
- Tap the Palette button to change the color scheme.
- Tap the Edit button and then choose Add/Remove Fields. Then you can tap in areas within those glowing white rectangles and choose from a variety of field types to add more information to the card.
When you’re done, tap the blue checkmark to save changes.
