Apple’s Wallet app has been enhanced with several excellent features in iOS 26, including a handy new method to manage and access credit cards. Here’s how it works.
## iOS 26 Enhances Systemwide AutoFill to Include Credit Cards
iOS 26 broadens the systemwide AutoFill functionality to now encompass credit cards. This upgrade enables users to bypass the manual input of credit card information, facilitating faster and more efficient transactions.
To input credit card information on your iPhone, follow these instructions:
1. Tap anywhere in a text field to bring up the copy/paste menu.
2. Select the ‘AutoFill’ menu option.
3. Tap ‘Credit Card.’
4. Locate and press the card you wish to use.
This feature operates across diverse apps and websites, offering a fluid way to automatically populate credit card details.
### Configuring AutoFill for Credit Cards
AutoFill capability for credit cards is an evolution of a long-standing Safari feature, now accessible systemwide in iOS 26. To oversee these AutoFill credit cards, users can utilize the Apple Wallet app.
## Incorporating New AutoFill Cards into the Wallet App
To incorporate new AutoFill cards:
1. Launch the Wallet app in iOS 26, tap the three dots in the upper-right corner, then choose ‘AutoFill.’
2. Authenticate using Face ID or Touch ID to view all current AutoFill cards stored on your device.
If you have pre-existing cards, they might have been imported from Safari or Apple Pay. The updated iOS 26 menu offers a straightforward way to add new AutoFill cards. Users can press the ‘Add Card’ button, enabling the iPhone to scan card details with the camera or to manually input details.
After being added, these cards are accessible systemwide in iOS 26, removing the necessity for manual entry of card information.
