Restore Accidentally Deleted Old Expired Passes from the Apple Wallet

I accidentally deleted All Old Expired Passes from my Apple Wallet, I have also enabled iCloud to backup my Apple Wallet. However, I can't seem to find a place where I can restore my accidentally deleted Old Expired Passes.

They were quite sentimental and I would appreciate if anyone can give me a step by step guidance to restore these boarding passes, theatre tickets and national park tickets.

Thank you

Hi Jeff, thanks for replying. Actually, I have some good news! It's good luck that I had enabled iCloud to backup my Apple Wallet & other apps.

I reached out to the Apple Support guys and the Apple Wallet is now restored to the last backup.

The process to do that is:

you would have to reset your phone
once you reset it will be back to it's factory settings
now, start setting up the phone and then - choose the last back (say 3 days ago)
once you do that - it will bring back all the data that was deleted.
now the catch here is - your messages & some other data will be from 3 days ago

Sorry, they’re gone. When you remove expired passes they are gone. The backup to iCloud preserves tickets/passes that have not been removed.

Please contact the support team for the company you purchased tickets from or try adding the passes to your Wallet using the email/QR code you used to add the passes, when you purchased them.
