iOS 27 Might Finally Let You Create Your Own Custom Digital Passes in Apple Wallet
The feature would let iPhone users turn QR codes and paper passes into custom Wallet entries for gyms, events and other venues.
- Apple is developing a 'Create a Pass' feature for iOS 27 that allows users to build custom digital passes from QR codes, enabling them to digitize tickets, memberships, and gift cards directly within Wallet.
- After fourteen years of limited developer adoption for PassKit, Apple is shifting its strategy from developer-first to user-driven. This change acknowledges that most small businesses never integrated official Wallet support, leaving users to bridge the gap themselves.
- Users can access three templates: standard in orange for defaults, membership in blue for recurring access, and event in purple for one-off tickets. Customization tools allow adjusting styles, images, colors, and text fields to tailor each pass.
- This feature lets users convert QR codes from emails, PDFs, or standalone apps directly into digital entries in Apple Wallet. Services like local gyms and cinemas can now have a Wallet presence without requiring official developer integration.
- Apple is expected to showcase these iOS 27 updates at WWDC 2026 on June 8. This announcement will provide the public with their first look at the new Wallet functionality and other anticipated system improvements.
