Apple Wallet is a convenient way to store boarding passes, event tickets, payment cards, and more. But over time, it can get cluttered with expired or unused items. This guide walks you through how to remove them – manually or in bulk – on iPhone and Apple Watch.
Remove Active Passes
- Open the Wallet app on your iPhone.
- Tap the pass or ticket you want to remove.
- Tap the three-dot icon (•••) in the top-right corner.
- Tap Pass Details.
- Select Remove Pass, then confirm.
Delete Expired Passes
Apple Wallet automatically hides expired passes, but you can manually delete them:
- Open the Wallet app.
- Scroll to the bottom and tap View Expired Passes.
- Tap a pass to view its details.
- Tap Delete to remove it permanently.
- Or tap Edit to bulk-select and delete multiple passes.
If you do not see the link for View Expired Passes, you will probably find that this is because you do not have it enabled. To enable it, go to your iPhone Settings > Wallet & Apply Pay > Hide Expired Passes – ensure the slide is set to enabled. Go back to your Wallet app and you should then see the link at the very bottom.
Remove Payment Cards
- Go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay.
- Tap the card you want to remove.
- Scroll down and tap Remove This Card.
This will also remove the card from Apple Pay and synced devices.
FAQ
Can I delete multiple expired passes at once?
Yes. Tap Edit in the Expired Passes section and select multiple items to delete.
Why do some expired passes still show up?
Some passes don’t auto-hide. You’ll need to manually delete them from the Wallet app.
Can I remove Apple Pay transactions?
No. Transactions cannot be deleted, but removing the associated card will hide its history.
Do changes sync across devices?
Yes. Removing a pass or card on one device will remove it from all devices using the same Apple ID.
