How to manage passes, cards, and keys in Wallet on iPhone

by Moses Johnson

Your passes, cards, and keys saved in Wallet may show useful details, such as the account balance, recent activity, reward or loyalty points, or flight information. You can also search for transactions, adjust settings, and manage expired passes.

You can view, unhide, or delete expired passes, too. And if your iPhone is lost or stolen, you can remove your cards from Apple Pay.

Here’s how to manage passes, cards, and keys in Wallet on iPhone.

View and manage details

  1. Start the Wallet app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap an item to see its details. Then do any of the following (if available for the item):
    • Review your activity: On a supported card, scroll down to see recent activity. Some cards may show older transactions grouped by month and year.
    • See the card number: On a payment card, tap the Card Number button to see the last four digits of the device account number (the number transmitted to the merchant when you use Apple Pay), the physical card number (if you added the card information for AutoFill), or the virtual card number (if supported).
    • Manage more options: Tap the More button or the Info button. Choose an option.

Depending on the type of card or pass, you can add funds to your account balance, adjust notification settings, contact the issuer for support, and more. (Not all options are available on all cards and passes.)

Search for items and transactions

  1. Start the Wallet app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap the Search button. Enter what you’re looking for. You can search by merchant, date, transaction amount, location, and more.

View, unhide, or delete expired passes

  1. Start the Wallet app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap the More button and tap Expired.
  3. Tap a pass and then do any of the following:
    • See the details: Tap the Info button.
    • Unhide the pass: Tap the Unhide button.
    • Permanently delete the pass: Tap the Delete button.

Remove an item

  1. Start the Wallet app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap the item you want to remove. Tap the More button or the Info button.
  3. Do one of the following:

    • Remove a debit or credit card: Tap Card Details, then tap Remove Card.

      Note: If you remove a payment card on your iPhone, it’s not removed from Apple Wallet on your other devices. You can add the card again later.

    • Permanently delete a pass: Tap Remove Pass.

      Note: If you delete a pass on your iPhone, it’s permanently removed from Apple Wallet on your other devices.

Remove your cards from Apple Pay if your iPhone is lost or stolen

If you turned on Find My iPhone, it can help you locate and secure your iPhone.

How to fill in payment information on iPhone

by Abigail Shilets

With your physical and virtual card numbers saved in Apple Wallet, you can use AutoFill to automatically fill in payment information in apps and online where Apple Pay isn’t available. You can add, edit, and remove AutoFill cards to manage your saved payment methods.

Your AutoFill cards are saved in iCloud Keychain so you can access them on your other devices where you’re signed in to the same Apple Account. Even a credit or debit card that doesn’t support Apple Pay can be added to Apple Wallet this way.

Save a physical card number in Apple Wallet

You can add a credit or debit card number to Apple Wallet even if the card doesn’t support Apple Pay.

  1. Start the Wallet app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap the More button, then tap AutoFill.
  3. Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. Tap Add Card.
  4. Position your card in the frame to scan the information, or enter the card details manually.

Update or remove AutoFill cards

You can manage your AutoFill cards, including editing or deleting the payment information.

  1. Start the Wallet app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap the More button, then tap AutoFill.
  3. Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. Tap a card to see the details.
  4. Do any of the following:
    • Update the card information: Tap Edit.
    • Delete the card information: Tap Remove From AutoFill.

Note: Removing a card from AutoFill doesn’t remove it from Apple Pay.

See a virtual card number

A virtual card number, available for supported cards, hides your real card number and prevents fraud when you’re shopping in apps or on websites that don’t offer Apple Pay.

  1. Start the Wallet app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap a supported payment card.
  3. Tap the Card Number button. Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.
  4. Tap the virtual card number to copy it.

Fill in your payment information during checkout

Where Apple Pay isn’t available, AutoFill can enter the security code, expiration date, and card number of a credit or debit card saved in Apple Wallet. And to scan the information on a new card, you can use the iPhone camera.

  1. During checkout, tap a payment information field.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Choose a card saved in Apple Wallet: Tap a payment card above the onscreen keyboard.
    • Use a new card: Tap Scan Card. Position your card in the frame.
