Apple Adds Wallet Toggle in iOS 26 to Block Promotional Notifications
Introduced after backlash to an F1 movie alert, the control ships enabled by default.
Overview
- The iOS 26 beta includes a new Offers & Promotions switch inside the Wallet app's Notifications settings.
- To find it, open Wallet, tap the three-dot More button, choose Notifications, then toggle Offers & Promotions off.
- Disabling the setting stops special-offer and discount alerts while preserving payment and transaction notifications.
- Before this change, users could only avoid marketing messages by turning off all Wallet notifications.
- Coverage notes questions about consistency with App Store rules that typically require explicit opt-in for promotional pushes.
