Hi everyone,
We have recently started distributing iOS 26 Apple Wallet boarding passes, which support new features such as:
- Live Activities
- Automatic updates for flight-related information (e.g., gate changes, departure time updates)
While these features are useful, we are looking for ways to control or limit some of this behavior.
Our requirements
-
Live Activity Control We would like to prevent Live Activities from being automatically shown when a boarding pass is added to Wallet.
-
Automatic Flight Data Updates We would like to control or disable the automatic updates performed by Wallet for flight information.
Reason for this requirement
- We already provide our own Live Activity implementation with more customization, and having two Live Activities leads to a poor user experience.
- We have observed that Wallet’s automatic updates can sometimes be delayed, and since Wallet overrides our data, we lose control over the displayed information.
Question
Is there any supported way to:
- Disable or control Live Activities triggered by Wallet passes?
- Disable or override Wallet’s automatic flight updates?
Or are these behaviors managed entirely by the system with no developer control?
Any guidance or documentation references would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
