    What do people find interesting about this? This doesn’t seem at all significant to me

      I have a few apps on my phone for which the only purpose is to open and bring up a barcode (ex. Tim Hortons Scan and Pay). I'd love to delete the app and only have an Apple Wallet thing.

        Anycode Wallet! I used it years ago to put my family’s library card in Apple Wallet. It supports a bunch of standards, and also you can use a photo (which I ended up using because my library uses some weird non-standard bar code).

        Edit: also, it’s free.

          Pass4Wallet has been my go-to recently (among the free options)

            iOS 27 has brought on the ability to create passes yourself

              That's amazing! Thanks for that info. I somehow missed it.

              I wish Apple also added the ability to create widgets from them. For frequent cards like the grocery store or gym, it would be convenient to have them on the side screen.

              Not for barcodes, which excludes almost all membership cards.
