Apple Account Cards In The Wallet App Appears To Be Live In Canada
A quick primer before I get into the weeds. An Apple Account allows you to put money into it so that you can buy things like apps, music, etc. without having to use your credit card or PayPal to do it. You can even use it to buy stuff at the Apple Store either in store or online. And if you receive an App Store or Apple Store gift card, the amount of that gift card is added to that Apple Account.
Up until iOS 17.6 coming out, there was no separate card in the Wallet app that showed your balance. At least not in Canada as this was a US only thing as far as I know. But since iOS 17.6 came out, this has appeared for myself and for my wife, and for other Canadian iOS users I’ve spoken to. Here’s how you add an Apple Account Card if you wish to do so:
Go to the Wallet app and click on “Add Apple Account”.
You will then get this screen. Click Continue.
You will see this screen, and it should show your Apple ID as well as your Apple Account balance. I’ve redacted both in this screenshot. Click Next.
This screen indicates that the card is being added. It took me less than a minute for it to be added. When successful, you should see this:
If you get this screen, you’re good to go.
Is this something that you are going to do? If so, I’d love to know why in the comments below.
