Apple Wallet comes preinstalled on the iPhones. I believe if you double click the power button, it will automatically pull up your wallet. Just tap on the card you want to use for the purchase and hold it near the card reader. The phone want to scan your face to make sure you're the one using the card, but it all happens rather simultaneously without you realizing it. Answer from RealMacMittens on reddit.com

r/howto on Reddit: How to use iPhone Wallet? A question
September 25, 2025 -

I'm an "older person" who is a little challenged by the incredible complexity and feature rich nature of the many devices we have today. I'll be travelling in Europe in a few days and some people have suggested that using my iPhone Wallet would be advantageous. I have already entered my credit card and debit card - that was straightforward. But there is a banner on the main wallet screen that seems to suggest that I need to download a variety of apps to use the wallet for things other than payment, like airline boarding passes, tickets, etc.

I've tried doing a quick Google search but things aren't clear. Do I need to have an app installed for whatever company or organization in order to place an item in the wallet. For example, if I want to put Air Canada boarding passes in my wallet, do I need to have the Air Canada app? The same with, say, loyalty cards for my grocery store, or my health insurance card, etc, etc?

For a long time, I never used apple wallet and didn't connect with my debit card. Whenever I made a rare in-app purchase I just used an apple gift card. I recently changed that because it just got annoying.

Anyway, I made an in app purchase in late April and I still haven't been charged yet. Do I have to somehow pay manually or will it eventually just charge my debit card? I was under the impression that it was the latter, but I feel like it should have charged me by now.
