When you use your iPhone or Apple Watch to access a boarding pass or event ticket, you want to find it quickly in your Wallet app. To be able to do that, it’s essential to remove expired or unwanted passes and cards.

In this guide, I’ll show how to delete passes, tickets and cards from your Apple Wallet on both your iPhone and Apple Watch.

How to remove tickets from Apple Wallet on iPhone 

If you have active passes or no longer need tickets, you can easily remove those from the Wallet app on your iPhone.

Remove active passes 

  1. Open the Wallet app and select the pass at the bottom.
  2. To delete a pass right away, tap the three dots at the top right → Pick Remove Pass.

    Tap on active pass, tap three dot and select remove pass, tap Remove to confirm
  3. To review the pass details before deleting it, tap the three dots → pick Pass Details. You can then select Remove Pass on the detail screen.

    Another way to remove active pass, tap three dots, select Pass Details and tap Remove
  4. Tap Remove to confirm.

Delete expired passes 

You can find and remove expired passes or tickets from the bottom of the main interface. Plus, you can remove multiple passes from Apple Wallet at once. 

  1. Open the Wallet app → Select View X Expired Passes at the bottom of the screen.
  2. To delete a single pass, tap the pass → Choose Delete at the bottom left → Delete to confirm.

    Select Expired Passes, select a pass and tap Delete
  3. To delete multiple passes, tap Edit on the top right → Select the passes you want to remove → Choose Delete on the bottom left.

    Tap on Expired pass, edit, select multiple pass and tap Delete

Also, if you use the same Apple ID on multiple devices, removing a pass from one device will automatically remove it from all other synced devices as well. And if your device is not synced, then you can follow the below-mentioned steps to remove it manually.

If you take advantage of Apple Wallet on your Apple Watch, you can manage your active and expired passes on that device as well.

  2. To delete the pass right away, tap Remove Pass at the bottom of the detail screen.
  3. To review the pass details before deleting it, tap Pass Details. Then tap the back arrow on the top left and pick Remove Pass.

  4. Tap Remove to confirm.

  2. Pick View X Expired Passes.
  3. Select the pass you want to delete → Choose Remove.

Since you cannot delete multiple passes at once on Apple Watch, just follow the same process for each additional pass. 

Now, along with passes, you may have a credit or debit card in your Apple Wallet that you want to delete. For example, maybe you’ve closed the account and no longer need the card. You can remove old cards from Apple Wallet on both iPhone and Apple Watch.
