How to add passes and tickets to Apple Wallet on iPhone
There are several ways to add boarding passes to the Apple Wallet app. You could scan the QR code, use third-party apps, or sync it with the Mail app – all of which are mentioned below.
Scan code to add boarding passes and tickets
Using a QR code to scan and add boarding passes is a cakewalk for anyone using Apple Wallet. And also, it’s really useful if you are in a hurry.
Here’s the process.
- Open the Wallet app.
- Look for the boarding passes and tickets option within the app.
- On the Boarding Passes, tap Get.
- Tap on the Scan Code option.
- Now scan the QR code/barcode of your pass.
- It will automatically scan and add the pass to your Apple Wallet.
How to add boarding passes without barcode or QR code
Even if you don’t physically hold your passes, adding them to Apple Wallet with a few steps is easy. Here are different ways to add the boarding pass to Apple Wallet without a QR code or barcode.
Automatic process
If you have used the same ID to get all your boarding passes, the ID will automatically fetch the boarding pass details to your Apple Wallet. The app will notify you about your events, and with one tap on the notification, you will also fetch the details.
Airline’s app
If you are using your airline’s app, open the boarding pass and tap on Add to Wallet. Thus, you will be redirected to your Apple Wallet app, and the boarding pass will reflect on it.
You can use the same process to draw your tickets from other third-party apps to Apple Wallet.
From email
If you want your boarding pass to be added to your Apple Wallet from the Mail app, then:
Open Mail App → Open the email containing the boarding pass → Tap on Add to Wallet in Mail.
In Apple Wallet, you can also share your boarding pass with other people. To do so, you can follow these simple steps:
