Q: deleting multiple old boarding passes from Passbook

How do I delete multiple old boarding passes from Passbook simply rather than deleting them individually, which would take some time with the number I have.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2

    Hi IanMon,

     

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

     

    Please take a look at the following linked article for information on deleting a pass.

     

    iOS: Using Passbook

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5483

     

    Adjusting pass settings

    Tap the info icon to see settings and additional information on the pass.

    From the info screen, you can:

    • Delete passes
    • "Pull to refresh" to update the pass
    • Open or install the app related to that pass
    • Configure settings:
      • Automatic Updates
      • Show on Lock Screen

     

    Have a great day,

    Joe

    Thanks for replying Joe,

     

    This does not solve the problem for me unfortunately.  I know how to delete individual passes as described in your instructions above, but what I am looking for is a way to delete multiple passes of the same type of pass e.g.boarding passes without having to individually go into each pass, open up the info tab, press delete. I have over 100 old boarding passes and while the perfect fix would be for passbook to automatically delete once the boarding pass date has expired I feel this is a bridge too far for developers.

     

    I am talking about British Airways boarding passes that appear as individual passes, other airlines that I use, like City Jet, hold their boarding passes in a single container which at least make it more manageable.

    I have the same issue.  Too many boarding passes to delete, it would take me a solid hour.  I was going to setup apple pay but with all that clutter it doesn't seem practical to use the app.
