Community Voice & Feedback
Apple puts Apple ahead of itself. Kind of reminds me of my sister.
I don’t like that the amount available on the card is visible. There should be an option to display it or not.
Stop showing me ads. Why are you doing this?
It lets me purchase everything I need without having to carry around anything extra like a wallet!
I keep trying to verify my identity and the app keeps bugging out every single time I hardly use my Apple wallet and when I finally do this is what it does to me.
Good for keeping things in order
