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?

How secure is the Apple Wallet when you can add anyone's card to an Apple ID?
The only way they can do that is if they had your card number, date it expires, your name, and the security code on the back. Also if you look at your bank statements Wich are mailed or emailed every 30 days you would have found it. Or if you look at your bank app and notice the balance was missing 600…I don’t blame Apple in this. Just you More on reddit.com
