Apple has updated Wallet – it now looks for orders in the mail
By ForGeeks Apple has unveiled a long-awaited update to the Wallet app’s order tracking feature, adding AI support in iOS 26.
Apple Wallet has learned to recognize orders from emails
The order tracking feature first appeared in iOS 16, but hasn’t been widely adopted due to low support from retailers. Despite the convenient idea of collecting information about purchases from different online stores in one place, real-world use has been very limited.
With the release of iOS 26, that could change dramatically. Apple has announced that Wallet is now able to identify and aggregate order data, pulling it from emails received from merchants and delivery services. That means users will be able to see complete order information, receive notifications about shipping status, and track their purchase history without the need for manual entry or third-party partners.
The innovation works with Apple Intelligence
The key technology that made this approach possible is Apple Intelligence. It’s what analyzes emails and extracts order details from them. This removes the dependence on integrations with marketplaces that have previously hindered the development of the feature.

But there’s an important limitation: the improved order tracking will only be available on Apple Intelligence-enabled devices – that’s the iPhone 15 Pro and newer models.
Wallet in iOS 26 gets a major update
The update to the order tracking feature is just part of a broader Wallet upgrade. Improvements in iOS 26 also include digital car keys, boarding passes, and passports. All of these changes are aimed at making Wallet a complete digital center for storing documents and managing your daily activities.
