Apple has released the latest version of its mobile operating system, iOS 17, which includes several new features and enhancements to existing apps and functions. One of the most notable updates is the expansion of the Wallet app (known as "Cards" in the French version), which allows users to manage digital versions of their physical cards, including credit and debit cards, transportation passes, and loyalty cards. The app also supports contactless payments and can store passes like the Navigo card used for public transit in the Paris region. With iOS 17, users can now add and customize cards in the Wallet app in two new ways. The first method involves scanning a physical card. Many cards, such as event tickets and transportation passes, include a barcode or scannable information that can be added to the Apple Wallet. To use this feature, users need to open the Cards app on their iPhone, press the "+" icon at the top of the screen, and select "Create a card." They then point their phone at the barcode on the physical card and take a photo. If needed, they can edit the card’s details, such as the name or other information, before saving it to their wallet. The second method is useful for cards that don’t have a scannable barcode. This option is available only on newer iPhone models like the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16, and later, which support Apple Intelligence. Users can manually create a card by selecting the "Create a card manually" option after pressing the "+" icon. They can then choose from three templates: standard card, membership, or event card. After selecting the appropriate template, users can input the necessary details and customize the card's appearance by selecting background colors, textures, or themes. They can also add or remove fields by using the settings icon or adjusting the layout with the minus sign. Once the card is customized, users can save it to their wallet with a checkmark. These new features make it easier for users to manage their digital cards, reducing the need to carry physical cards for events, transportation, and other services. Whether through scanning or manual input, iOS 17 provides greater flexibility in how users interact with the Wallet app.
