Delta Enables Apple Wallet’s iOS 26 Boarding Pass Upgrades

The rollout appears to be a server-side switch, with Apple listing additional airlines set to adopt the redesign.

Overview

  • Delta support surfaced today in reports from MacRumors and 9to5Mac after a user sighting, placing the airline alongside United and Air Canada.
  • The upgraded passes add Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with a shareable flight widget that limits sensitive passenger details.
  • Wallet now links to airport maps, offers one-tap directions in Apple Maps, and opens Find My for baggage tracking via connected devices.
  • Flight details in Wallet update automatically, including gate changes and departure times, reducing the need to refresh airline apps.
  • It remains unclear whether the change depends on iOS 26.2, as MacRumors indicates the features appear to work via a server-side update across iOS 26 versions.
