If you want to leave your physical wallet at home, iOS 26 has a Wallet feature that might make it easier.
Just like every big update, iOS 26 has various small new features that may go unnoticed but are worth every bit of attention. One such feature is Apple Wallet’s new ability to store more details about all credit and debit cards you have.
With Wallet on iOS 26 you can store all details about your physical cards alongside their digital versions that you have inside the app. That way, you will be able to access the card number, expiry date, and other details even when the physical card isn’t with you.
Previously, Apple didn’t have an option to store the full physical card details for the debit and credit cards added to Wallet. The only exception was Apple Card, which had the full details inside the app.
That update is quite simple, but it makes the Wallet app a more complete replacement for your physical wallet.
