If the iOS 15.4 beta is any indication, one thing you'll notice immediately when you install the updated software is a prompt to review your Emergency SOS settings. (That is, assuming your state supports the feature.) Emergency SOS prompt Apple has also said that Connecticut, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma and Utah are rolling out support, too.Īdding your drivers license or state ID card is a matter of tapping the plus sign on the main page of the Wallet app and following the on-screen instructions. Colorado, Hawaii, Mississippi and Ohio are on the way, as is Puerto Rico.
Well, Arizona became the first state to offer digital ID support for the Wallet app on March 23, and Apple says other states will soon follow. The iOS 15.4 beta contained hints that the feature was about to go live courtesy of code in the software update. One of the iOS 15 features Apple touted when introducing the software last year was the upcoming ability to store drivers license and state ID cards digitally in the Wallet app. It's not an iOS update until there are new emoji to add to your text, tweets and emails, and iOS 15.4 obliges with more than three dozen new options.
The switch is seen as a way for small business operators to accept mobile payments without the need for any new hardware other than an iPhone. The new version of Apple's software will introduce Tap to Pay which will allow anyone with an iPhone to accept contactless payments directly on their device. That's not the only change coming to Apple's digital wallet with iOS 15.4. And yes, if you've set up your iPhone to allow Face ID to work with face masks, you can get past the authentication screen just as easily.
Now when you double-click the side button, an authentication screen appears requiring either Face ID or passcode verification before your credit cards and passes appear. I don't know if other people have the same problem with their iPhone, but Apple is adding a small measure of security.
