In the session titled "What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay" at WWDC 2024, several new features and enhancements were introduced for Wallet and Apple Pay. Here are the key updates:

  1. Apple Pay on the Web: With iOS 18, users can now use Apple Pay on any non-Safari browser by scanning a code with their iPhone, allowing for secure and private payments across different ecosystems.

  2. Richer Ticketing Experience: There are visual upgrades to tickets in the Wallet, a new event guide for detailed event information, and stronger integration with apps like Weather and Calendar. This includes improvements for NFC event tickets, which now require semantically tagged information in the pass JSON for better system understanding.

  3. Live Activity for Passes: Passes can now start a live activity on iPhone and Apple Watch, displaying primary seating and entry information directly on the lock screen or smart stack, enhancing user convenience.
