Apple’s iOS 26 update has brought significant enhancements to boarding passes in the Wallet app, introducing features like shareable Live Activities for real-time flight tracking, integrated airport maps, and Find My support for luggage. As of late 2025, three major U.S. airlines—United, Delta, and Southwest—now fully support these upgraded digital boarding passes, making travel more seamless during the peak holiday season, with more carriers like Air Canada, American Airlines, and others expected to follow soon.
“Ryan Christoffel for 9to5Mac:
“Saving boarding passes to Apple Wallet makes it quick and convenient to access those passes right when you need them. And in iOS 26, Apple upgraded the experience with three new features:
1. Live Activities
2. Airport maps
3. Luggage tracking with Find MyLive Activities for boarding passes can be shared with a single tap, making it easy for friends or family members to track your flight. And by integrating airport maps and luggage tracking right into the boarding passes, Apple has put more important travel info in one place.”
