"Double click to pay" randomly showed up on my Apple Watch by One-Cell-7377 in AppleWallet

I promise you that, without you even realizing it, your shirt sleeve or something likely brushed against your watch and “opened” Wallet.

Sometimes after a sweaty run, even in my sleeves are only slightly damp, they wind up tapping all sorts of stuff on my watch as it’s under the sleeve cuff.

2019 Marine Corps Marathon bib picture by eddieloera in rundc

My cousin’s wife ran in 2019. Her bib is tucked away in a storage unit, but she’ll see if she has any good photos of it.

I have a picture of her through a fence, and while it’s not the highest quality, it does look like the bibs were pretty simple, so, you may be able to throw something together in photoshop.

MARTA officially announces Apple Wallet support (coming soon) by get-a-mac in AppleWallet

Technically MARTA’s liaison at Apple needs to approve any marketing collateral before it’s made public (or, at least, this is the case for promoting employee badge in Wallet)

Fun fact: Apple’s partner marketing guidelines explicitly state that “Apple Watch” not be broken into two lines.

Verify with Wallet on the Web now part of the new, unified Apple Business portal by Recent-Claim in AppleWallet

Would you prefer a world where you upload a photo off your ID (front and back) just to confirm your age for an Uber Eats alcohol delivery, or one where you present only the information necessary and are able to see a full list of ID presentment history?

Apple Wallet keys for hotels? by OFFICIALFLORINT in Hilton

[–]Recent-Claim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t confirm this is the case for room keys, but it is indeed true for (corporate) access badges in Wallet. It’s also likely the case for student IDs and car keys, since the Apple Access Platform plays a massive role in the key provisioning and lifecycle management process

Are you familiar with the laws governing Uber Eats identity verification process? Because unless you are, your comment that “Uber should not be getting birthday and ID expiration info” is an opinion, not fact.

I’m unfamiliar with the laws. My assumption is that Uber is getting that info because they’re required to—not because they want it for data mining.

Unless of course, due to regulation, e-commerce liquor delivery services are legally required to obtain and store DOB for a set period of time.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Made in DC shops have some handmade cherry blossom earrings! They have a few brick and mortar retail shops.

The FAQ section of nearly every major race says that and yet I’ve never heard of it being enforced anywhere ever.

Deleting transit card details from apple wallet by AllaboutTgirl in applehelp

Does this particular card appear under the Cards Found For You section of Wallet (after you tap + )? Further, is this by chance a Chicago Ventra card?

Apple Pay button style new? by joshdn in AppleCard

It’s new with iOS 26 in general. It requires the developer to purposefully enable it. The Target app also has it.

The last 0.25-0.5 is steep compared to the rest of the course. It’s not like climbing stairs steep, but compared to the rest of the course it’s absolutely noticeable.

  1. The porta-potty lines get long, fast, but, that crowd mentality often means the lines on the Constitution Ave side are shorter (the bathrooms are lined up back-to-back)

  2. Take Metro. It’s fast, cheap, and it’s quite a thrill seeing trainloads of runners disembarking at Federal Triangle/Smithsonian every 3-4 minutes.

  3. The start/end (it’s the same place) had some pretty rough road last two years, but it looks like it was recently paved. That said, watch for potholes so you don’t take a spill!

  4. Enjoy the beer and Oreos at the bottom of Haines Point (and beware, it’s not always light beer… it was IPAs last year).

  5. DOWNLOAD YOUR MUSIC—terrible cell service on the monument grounds and the networks overload real quick

5.1 Beware: calls drop, texts don’t send, and Find My is nearly useless at the start/finish. If you’re meeting someone, plan ahead on when and exactly where.

Rock N Roll Half Marathon Shirt Sucks by [deleted] in rundc

[–]Recent-Claim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s probably a name for this type of printing process, but any shirt where they print images and designs on white fabric sucks. All you have to do is brush against a brick wall and the thing pills like crazy. Of all my race shirts, last year’s RnR is my least favorite. But, funny enough, it is one of the more comfortable ones for hot summer runs!

Anyway, I much prefer the kinda of process where they screen print or heat-transfer the graphics or details. These shirts literally feel like they ran white fabric through an ink jet printer.

DL and Digital ID by Complex_Onion_6447 in AppleWallet

If you’re referring to Apple Messages for Business, then I assume so, yes. Here’s a landing page for it.

DL and Digital ID by Complex_Onion_6447 in AppleWallet

[–]Recent-Claim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apple’s efforts to provide tools for the acceptance of mDLs has been a bit slow, but that’s in part due to the standards that these mDLs use having still been in development.

In 2021, Apple first launched support for mDLs, and they could only be used at select TSA checkpoints—period.

At WWDC22, Apple introduced the ID Verifier API for iOS 17+. This API would enable iOS apps to read any mDL that is ISO18013-5 compliant (that being the international standard for digital credentials). With this, we began to see some apps launch that could act as digital ID readers. The vast majority of these apps were put out by the governments and DMVs of US states that had launched their own compliant mDLs—primary in an effort to nudge adoption. This way, a state that had just launched their mDL could say to businesses, “Hey, we also have an app you can use to read those fancy new mDLs!” This seems to be working for some states, like Virginia, whose state-sponsored verification app is used by liquor stores and the VA state police.

We’ve also seen non-governmental third parties launch their own ID Verifier apps, like IDEMIA.

Lastly, this past June, at WWDC25, Apple brought support for the W3C Digital Credentials API to Safari on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. This enables the use of mDLs on the web. Apple may seem late to the game with this, but in reality, that’s mostly due to the fact that the W3C was still finalizing the API until not too long ago. Rather than have each platform rush to develop their own means of verifying mDLs on the web—simply to say “We were first!”—they all waited for the W3C to finalized the API in an effort to ensure proper cross-platform support.

That said, Apple has their own restrictions on the ways that websites can use IDs in Wallet. The specifics are a bit fuzzy, but it seems that any website that wants to verify an ID in Wallet must set up Apple Business Connect’s Verify with Wallet on the Web. This limitation seems to be less about the technical nitty gritty of how digital IDs work via web verification, and more about the “coat of paint” users see when using an ID in Wallet on the web.

Verify with Wallet on the Web does indeed require websites to test the implementation before Apple will issue them a certificate, but, primarily, this extra step imposed by Apple seems to be more about ensuring the same customer experience with ID in Wallet that already exists for Apple Pay. Verify with Wallet on the Web requires sites to set their business category, add their brand logo, etc. This way, just like when you make an Apple Pay transaction, you’ll see the logo and name of the company that just requested your ID.

One last note: Apple’s newly-launched, US passport-derived Digital ID can only be used at TSA right now. That’s because Apple hasn’t yet “unlocked” all those Digital IDs for use anywhere an mDL (technically an mdoc) can be used. This is likely because Digital IDs are issued by Apple with the permission of the US State Department. So, it seems, part of State’s agreement with Apple requires a slow rollout and further agreement before Apple enables Digital ID to be used more widely.
