Apple Wallet in iOS 26 adds a toggle to disable controversial feature (Promotional Wallet notifications from Apple can be turned off in iOS 26)


Apple Wallet is a critical app for many iPhone users, which makes ads via notifications all the more controversial, but iOS 26 has the fix.

Apple’s Wallet app has a lot of new features coming in iOS 26, including one that’s easy to miss: a toggle that lets you disable an annoying and controversial type of push notifications. Apple learned this earlier this summer, when it sent an unwanted Wallet notification to a large number of iPhone users. But after you update to iOS 26, you can ensure no future promotional notifications get sent from your digital wallet app.
