UseMyWallet

Fans of “apple” products know very well that the iPhone is not only a fashion (and very expensive) device, but also an excellent secure storage for various financial information. Security is provided by the proprietary Wallet application. What is this thing and how to use it? Let’s try to give answers to these questions. What is Wallet? It’s worth noting that the Wallet app was previously called Passbook. It first appeared in iOS in 2012 and was intended to store loyalty cards, boarding passes, cinema tickets in electronic form. This beauty was available exclusively in the United States. This option came to domestic spaces only after a couple of years. However, Apple did not sleep either. By 2014, the US launched Apple Pay (the ability to pay for purchases using an iPhone). And Wallet-passbook got the option to add payment cards. Also, the application stored data on payment details. Needless to say, Apple Pay and the updated Wallet only reached Europa by 2016. Better late than never. However, even now, far from everywhere there is an opportunity to pay for a purchase using an iPhone. And the situation with loyalty cards is quite critical. But some Wallet for iPhone options are available with us. Therefore, you need to consider and describe them. It is worth starting with the simplest and most obvious. Working with payment cards So, in the previous chapter, we covered the main options for the Wallet app. That it is already clear. Now let’s deal with the most relevant (at the moment) application option. It’s about the ability to pay for purchases using Apple Pay and Wallet. The first is an “innovative” payment system, and the second stores all the necessary payment details in its database. Including bank card details. However, you first need to add a payment card to the Wallet database. But there are nuances here. Not all banks in the European support this possibility. If your card is supported, then adding it to the Wallet app is a breeze. It is enough to click on the “Add payment card” button. And then you just have to follow the instructions. They are all extremely simple. Moreover, in European. So there will be no problems. Once added, you can use Apple Pay to its fullest wherever it is supported. Now it’s worth considering the other features of Wallet. What is this app with just one feature? Apple thought something like this and … added more functionality. Purchasing cinema tickets Few people know, but by purchasing tickets on some popular online service, you can add them to Wallet and safely use their electronic copies to go to the cinema. So far, there are not many services in Europa that support this option. But “Kinohod”, Rambler, Parter, Tickets, “Yandex.Kassa”, “Kinopoisk” definitely support. You can safely purchase tickets to movies, concerts and other events and use their electronic copies from Wallet at the entrance. However, do not forget that not in all cities of our vast Motherland, entertainment workers know what Apple Wallet is and why they suddenly shove a phone with some incomprehensible information on the screen instead of a ticket. In deep provinces, such innovations are still shocking. So don’t make people nervous. It is still better to go to a provincial cinema with a classic paper ticket. This will be more reliable and there will be no stupid and unpleasant questions. Working with non-payment cards The so-called loyalty cards are provided by various stores and other retail outlets. With these cards, you can accumulate bonuses, receive discounts and other amenities. But not all representatives of domestic business support cards for Wallet. We can say for sure that in the near future this technology will be introduced almost everywhere. But for now, the list is extremely short. Usually, retail chains notify their customers about the opportunity to create a bonus card in Wallet using SMS messages. Therefore, it is worth keeping an eye on such mailings. It is often possible to make a map. And you shouldn’t let it go. Airplane and train tickets Few people know, but using the Apple Pay service in conjunction with Wallet (what it is, we have discussed a little higher), you can purchase tickets for trains and planes and easily use their electronic versions for boarding. It is very convenient and has been used for quite some time in Europe and the USA. In Europa, such an opportunity has appeared relatively recently. Moreover, you need to try it. Aeroflot and other carriers can already please the client with a new option. It’s the same with trains. Although some conductors still goggle at the smartphone when trying to get into the train. But this is not for long. Everything will be back to normal soon. Other Wallet features If you look at it, Wallet is a unique application. There is nothing like this in the Android OS and is not close. Although Google tried to create a copy of the Yabloko wallet. But the original Wallet has complex multi-level protection and a nice interface. In principle, all the main options of the application have been discussed above, but there are a few more features that have appeared relatively recently in Wallet. The review would be incomplete without mentioning them. For example, students can make an electronic student ID and use it instead of paper or plastic. However, such a cool feature is still available only to students from the States. And that’s not all. And history is silent about when such a function will come to Europa. In 2018, Wallet added the ability to contactlessly use all cards (payment, bonus, various tickets, student passes, and so on). But again. This option is only available to residents of the United States of America using Wallet. What is it? Echoes of sanctions? Not. It’s just that in the European, all new items cannot always be introduced due to the lack of hardware capabilities. But soon the new iPhone wallet options will be available to users from Europa. True, Wallet will have new ones by this time. That is how we live. Conclusion So, we took apart the Apple Wallet app. What it is? This is a kind of electronic wallet in which you can store electronic versions of cards and use them with success. The wallet can handle payment cards, bonus cards, student ID cards, movie tickets, train and plane tickets. This is much more convenient than carrying around a tightly packed wallet forever. Do not neglect the capabilities of this service. – Читайте подробнее на
