How do I flip cards in Apple wallet?

Unveiling the Back: A Simple Guide to Flipping Cards in Apple Wallet

Apple Wallet offers a convenient way to store and access your digital cards, from credit cards and loyalty programs to boarding passes and driver’s licenses. But did you know you can easily view the back of many of these cards within the app? This simple feature, often overlooked, can be incredibly useful for checking card numbers, CVV codes (though we strongly advise against storing these in memory – use a secure password manager instead), or simply verifying information.

So, how do you flip those cards? It’s surprisingly straightforward:

1. Open the Apple Wallet app: Locate the Wallet app on your iPhone or Apple Watch and tap to open it.

2. Select your card: Browse your collection of digital cards and locate the specific card you want to flip. Tap on the card to bring it to the forefront.

3. Access the menu: In the top right-hand corner of the screen, you’ll see a small icon consisting of three vertically stacked dots (…). This is the options menu. Tap this icon.

4. Flip the card (implicitly): While there isn’t an explicit “Flip Card” button, tapping the three-dot menu will bring up the options for that specific card. The action of opening these options implicitly flips the card, revealing the back side. You’ll now see the backside of your card displayed, showing any relevant information usually found there.

Important Note: Not all cards within Apple Wallet will have a back side to reveal. Cards like boarding passes or some loyalty cards might only display information on one side. The availability of a back side depends on how the card was issued and the information the issuer has provided.

This simple three-step process allows you to quickly access the rear of your digital cards stored within Apple Wallet. This functionality enhances convenience and provides users with quick access to potentially crucial information without needing to physically retrieve the plastic card. Remember to use this feature responsibly and to never share sensitive information like CVV codes carelessly.
