Apple’s Wallet app got a strong lineup of new features in iOS 26, including one hidden addition you might have missed: a highly requested new setting to disable promotional notifications.
iOS 26 lets you disable Wallet’s ‘Offers & Promotions’ notifications
Apple’s Wallet app is the iPhone’s home for credit cards, car keys, airline boarding passes, and more.
Typically when you get a notification from Wallet, it provides important financial records, flight changes, or something else similarly important.
But earlier this year, as part of its F1 The Movie marketing blitz, Apple sent out a Wallet notification with a movie ticket offer.
The movie became a hit, but this marketing tactic was not so well received by users.
Upon receiving the F1 notification, many users dug into Wallet’s settings to find a way to disable any such future promotional alerts.
Except at the time, iOS 18 offered no such option.
In iOS 26, however, the highly requested setting has arrived.
Open the Wallet app in iOS 26, then tap the three-dot icon in the top-right and find the ‘Notifications’ menu option.
From here, you’ll see toggles for the following types of notifications:
- Transactions
- Savings
- Orders
- Preauthorized Payments
- New Features & Updates
- Offers & Promotions
That last setting, Offers & Promotions, is new to iOS 26 and should stop any future unwanted notifications involving the inevitable F1 movie sequel.
On a related note, Apple TV (currently just $5.99/month) will be adding F1 The Movie as part of its December lineup. So if you’re tired of F1 notifications, now’s your chance to disable alerts for the Apple TV app too.
Do you plan to turn off Wallet notifications for Offers & Promotions, or would you prefer to get them? Let us know in the comments.
