Apple is reportedly testing a new feature for Apple Wallet that could significantly change how users store tickets and everyday passes. In an upcoming update, the company is said to be introducing a function that allows users to create their own digital passes without relying entirely on third party app support.The feature is referred to as “Create a Pass” and is expected to be part of the next generation iOS update.
Users may soon be able to create their own passes in Apple Wallet
With this new functionality, iPhone users are expected to convert physical or digital tickets into passes that can be stored directly in Apple Wallet. This includes event tickets, membership cards and other types of passes that currently lack official Wallet integration.
Users would simply scan a QR code or manually input the relevant details to generate a pass. The system would then create a digital version that behaves like any other pass within the Wallet app.
This approach makes Apple Wallet more flexible, reducing its reliance on official integrations from service providers.
Greater flexibility with support for multiple pass types
Apple is also reportedly planning to include several templates to help users create passes based on different use cases. These categories may include event passes, membership cards, and general purpose passes.
With these options, users can tailor the displayed information to better suit the type of pass being created. For instance, event passes could highlight details such as time and venue, while membership cards may focus on identity and access credentials.
This structured approach could lead to a more organized and consistent experience within Apple Wallet.
Addressing long standing limitations of Apple Wallet
Since its introduction, Apple Wallet has largely depended on support from organizations and app developers to add passes officially. While it works well with major providers such as airlines and banks, many smaller services still do not offer such integration.
As a result, users often resort to storing tickets as screenshots or PDF files in other apps like Photos or email, which can be inconvenient when quick access is needed.
With the introduction of “Create a Pass,” Apple appears to be addressing this limitation by giving users more direct control over what they can add to their Wallet.
Expected to arrive with iOS 27
At this stage, the feature has not been officially announced by Apple and remains based on early reports. However, it is widely expected to debut with iOS 27, which Apple typically unveils during its annual WWDC event before rolling it out publicly later in the year.
As with any unreleased feature, further details including how it will function in practice are likely to be revealed during the official announcement.
If these reports prove accurate, “Create a Pass” could become one of the most practical improvements to Apple Wallet in recent years.
Beyond convenience, it represents a shift toward making Apple Wallet a central hub for managing digital access, regardless of whether third party support is available.
