iPhone Wallet Hack (lemmy.world)

I often get flight or concert tickets that don't come as Wallet entries, but I wan't to treat them in the same way: 1. Easy Access (e.g., not searching back through emails or logging in to a service); 2. Not dependant on internet/phone connectivity (especially in airports!)

I now have a pair of shortcuts that more-or-less achieve this. In operation, I just open my iPhone, tap an app icon (shortcut to 'LocalFileOpener').

How it works:

'→ Local iPhone' Appears in the Share Menu and saves a file locally on my iPhone (i.e., I don't need an internet/phone connection to access it as I would with iCloud storage).

'LocalFileOpener' Just opens the local iPhone folder.

What I usually do is to create Wallet passes myself. It’s, of course, not as easy and seamless as your solution, but I get nice beautiful wallet passes that pop up automatically when nearing the location and can be kept as a souvenir. I prefer the app MakePass for this as that one makes clean proper wallet passes.

You had me interested until I saw the AI bit of the app.

[–] mbirth@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

The AI bit is just for auto-detecting physical cards and create wallet cards from that or so. I’ve never used that.

Thanks for the tip. Having tickets go to the proper Wallet app would be better.
