Moving from an iPhone to Android usually means re-adding everything by hand. Your loyalty cards, gym passes, and coupons don't have to be part of that chore.
What a pass actually is
An Apple Wallet pass (a .pkpass file) is really just a bundle around a barcode or QR code plus some text — the same thing a ONEWallet card holds. That's why they move across so cleanly: we keep the code, which is the part the store scanner cares about.
Bringing a pass over
- On your old phone, open the pass and use Share to send the .pkpass file to yourself — email it, or drop it in a shared note or cloud folder.
- Open that file on your Android phone and add it to ONEWallet, or save the pass's barcode as an image and add it from your gallery.
- ONEWallet reads the code and creates a card, ready to scan.
Faster, in person: if you still have the physical card, the photo scanner is often quickest — snap the back and skip the file shuffle entirely.
What moves, and what doesn't
- Moves well: store loyalty cards, memberships, coupons, event tickets, and boarding passes — anything backed by a barcode or QR code.
- Doesn't move: tap-to-pay bank and transit cards. Those are tied to secure hardware and can't be exported. ONEWallet doesn't make payments, so it's not the place for them anyway.
Rule of thumb: if it shows a code you scan, it comes with you. If it taps to pay, it stays.
Do this once, and the new phone feels like the old wallet — minus the plastic.
