Mark Gurman / Bloomberg : Sources: Apple prepares a “Create a Pass” feature for iOS 27, which lets users take a QR code and generate a custom pass around it for concerts and other venues — Apple Inc. is preparing a new “Create a Pass” feature for its next major iPhone software update …
Bloomberg reports iOS 27 will add a Create a Pass feature to Apple Wallet, letting users build passes directly in the Wallet app without an Apple Developer account, Pass Type ID, or certificate signing. Users can scan QR codes from paper tickets or membership cards or design passes from templates in an editor with adjustable styles, images, colors, and text fields. Apple is testing three templates—Standard (orange), Membership (blue), and Event (purple)—which also influence Wallet’s visual sorting. The change removes the developer-only barrier of PassKit and could shift much pass creation from third-party generators like WalletWallet into iPhone Wallet, expanding pass availability for small businesses and individual users once iOS 27 ships after WWDC.
Apple will add a 'Create a Pass' feature to Wallet in iOS 27, letting users build passes directly in the app without a Developer account, Pass Type ID, or certificate signing. Users can scan a QR code from a paper ticket or membership card or design a pass from templates (Standard, Membership, Event) with editable styles, images, colors, and text. The change addresses a long-standing adoption gap from PassKit’s 2012 launch by enabling consumers to create passes when businesses don’t supply them, shifting Wallet from a brand-controlled directory to a user-curated one. The feature, expected to preview at WWDC and ship in September, will undercut some third-party pass services but still leaves room for cross-platform and advanced integrations.
Apple is developing a Create a Pass feature for iOS 27 that will let users generate custom Wallet passes from scanned items like movie tickets, concert passes, and gym memberships, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports. The option integrates with the Wallet app via the “+” button: users can scan a QR code or, if none exists, opt to create a custom pass. Passes will cover receipts, memberships, gift cards, and more, with three color-coded types (purple for events, blue for memberships, orange for others) and editable images, colors, styles, and text. The feature is expected to debut at WWDC 2026 alongside other iOS 27 updates.
