Apple’s Wallet application has many new features to come in iOS 26, one of which is easy to miss: a rocking that allows you to deactivate a boring and controversial push notifications.
Apple Wallet is a critical application for many iPhone users. It houses Apple payment cards, and many of us use it to leave them boarding, concert or theater tickets, identity cards, public transport, etc.
Apple’s goal with the portfolio is clearly to possibly replace your physical wallet, which seems great.
But this also makes advertising via push notifications of the portfolio all the more controversial.
Apple learned it earlier this summer, when he sent an unwanted portfolio notification to a large number of iPhone users. The subject? A ticket offer for F1 the film.
Many went to social networks to complain about being announced via a portfolio notification. The entire counterpoup has even entered the territory of the memes, as with This impression For a physical wallet.
At the time, iOS offered no way to deactivate such notifications without completely deactivating portfolio notifications.
For such a critical utility in many of our lives, deactivating all portfolio notifications did not seem a good idea.
But in iOS 26, Apple has the fix.
In the notifications menu inside the wallet, there is a new rocking: offers and promotions.
It is by default, but you can deactivate it to prevent any unwanted future advertising from the application.
Should such a switch even be necessary in the first place? Probably not, or at least not with its current behavior to be on by default.
But after being updated to iOS 26, you can make sure that no future promotional notifications is sent from your digital portfolio application.
Do you plan to deactivate portfolio notifications for “offers and promotions” in iOS 26? Let us know in the comments.
