It aimed to make Wallet a one-stop hub for tracking all your online orders.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the feature required third-party vendor support to make it actually useful, and that\u2019s been hard to come by. But in iOS 26, Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/06\/11\/ios-26-gives-wallets-most-neglected-feature-the-fix-it-always-needed\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hopes to have the fix<\/a> thanks to Apple Intelligence.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Apple Wallet can now identify and summarize order tracking details from emails sent from merchants or delivery carriers. This works across all of a user\u2019s orders, giving them the ability to see their full order details, progress notifications, and more, all in one place.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/06\/11\/these-ios-26-features-will-only-be-available-on-newer-iphone-models\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">supported iPhones<\/a>, AI will be able to extract delivery tracking info directly from your inbox so that Wallet\u2019s order tracking has more data to work with.

But when Apple launched its <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/heres-what-the-new-passwords-app-in-ios-18-can-do\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">new Passwords app<\/a> last year, no such feature was found.<\/p>\n<p>In iOS 26 though, the Wallet app <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/06\/18\/apples-wallet-app-has-key-new-feature-for-saved-credit-cards-in-ios-26\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">is gaining support<\/a> for saving your full credit card details. By default you\u2019ll still only see the last four digits of the Apple Pay identifier, but you\u2019ll now have the option of adding the full card number, expiration date, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Apple Pay installments and rewards in-store<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Apple-Pay-competitor-apps.jpg\" alt=\"Apple Pay competitor apps coming | iPhone user making mobile wallet payment\" class=\"wp-image-929117\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>When using Apple Pay for in-store purchases, iOS 26 provides the option of paying with installments through one of Apple\u2019s existing partners <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/09\/16\/apple-pay-now-integrates-with-affirm-on-ios-18-following-apple-pay-later-discontinuation\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">like Affirm<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can also tap into rewards tied to your Apple Pay card of choice.<\/p>\n<p>These options will appear as part of the updated payment process when triggering Apple Pay.<\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t find this one on any of Apple\u2019s published feature lists.
