Apple’s Wallet app is getting one step closer to actually replacing your physical wallet, thanks to a new iOS 26 feature that’s available for all saved credit and debit cards.
Full credit card details can now be saved inside Wallet app in iOS 26
Last year in iOS 18, Apple launched a new Passwords app across its platforms. I use the app all the time, but there are some key missing features that still send me back to 1Password.
