New Apple Wallet Features Launch in Two U.S. States

A pair of Apple Wallet features launched in Arkansas and Georgia this week.

Arkansas residents can now add their driver's license or state ID to the Apple Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch, and then use it to display proof of identity or age at select airports and businesses, and in select apps.

To set up the feature, open the Wallet app on the iPhone and tap on the plus sign in the top-right corner. Next, tap on Driver's License and ID Cards, select Arkansas from the list, and follow the on-screen steps to complete the process.

Arkansas is the 14th U.S. state to offer the feature, following Arizona, Maryland, Colorado, Georgia, Ohio, Hawaii, California, Iowa, New Mexico, Montana, North Dakota, West Virginia, and Illinois. It is also available in Puerto Rico.

Meanwhile, MARTA's Breeze Card can now be added to the Apple Wallet app, allowing commuters in the Atlanta, Georgia area to tap an iPhone or Apple Watch to pay their fare at train stations and on buses. Funds can be added to the Breeze Card directly in Apple Wallet, with both pay-per-ride and discounted plans available.

To add the Breeze Card to Apple Wallet, open the app and tap on the plus sign in the top-right corner. Next, tap on Transit Card and scroll down and select the Breeze Card. Then, follow the on-screen steps to complete the setup process.
