Let’s face it: It’s a real pain to have to carry your wallet with you, not to mention it’s inconvenient. However, we all have credit cards, debit cards, and loyalty cards to keep track of. So what’s the solution?
Well, instead of keeping them all in your physical wallet, consider keeping a safe copy of them on your iPhone using your wallet app.
What is a wallet application?
Every iPhone and Apple Watch running the iOS operating system comes automatically with the Wallet app. It is a software application that allows you to store, manage, and secure digital currency, credit and debit cards, and other personal information in a virtual wallet on your smartphone or Apple Watch for easy access.
If you don’t like carrying your wallet around, using this app could be a way for you to get rid of it. The wallet application can also store the following:
