How do I delete the Wallet App from my iphone?

What's unacceptable about it? This lack of true control has ALWAYS been a "feature" of iOS. Nothing has changed. If you don't like that or want real control, then you bought the wrong phone plain and simple.

A consumer should have the right to permanently delete any app from their device. Since when did we live in a dictatorship? I don't want Wallet on my phone.

You obviously have no first-hand experience with a dictatorship.

You don't want Wllet? Then don't use it - it's the same as not being there.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, and I tend to agree with you, but if you really feel that way, why are you an Apple customer? Their MO has always been that you do things their way. Only since iOS 10 have you even been able to remove some of the stock apps, and users are lucky to get that lol.

not sure if it is because I have not set it up fully...

What does that mean? Once you've added the card its set up.

Possibly your card issuer or bank does not support automatic updates. As the little excerpt mentions: if the credit card issuer, or bank does not support the automatic update feature it may not update, and you would have to remove the card and add it again to update it.

I had to add a card to create an Itunes account, and it appears that is the card they used, but it is long expired. It is very possible that you are right and my bank does not do the automatic update thing too.

This Wallet App being forced upon me is an absolute invasion of my life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

Except the App was not forced upon you. When you purchase any device from any manufacturer you agree to certain terms and conditions from the manufacturer. Furthermore, you also agree to certain terms and conditions of the manufacturer when you of your own free will and volition choose to update the software on your device. These terms and conditions include the part where you agree to receive the device and software as is presented by the manufacturer, with all its Applications and data. This includes agreeing to have Apple add the Wallet App to your device.

Whether you did this knowingly or unknowingly is not the point. The point is you fully agreed to get the Wallet App. by both buying and using the iPhone, and installing the update that changed Passbook into Wallet. Apple forced nothing upon you.

Furthermore, as has been already stated, the card did not magically get added to the Wallet app, you or someone lese had to manually add it. Again whether you did this unknowingly or thinking you were doing something else is not the point.

The card was added. You can remove the card if you want to, follow the steps in this support document: Manage the cards that you use with Apple Pay - Apple Support

You cannot delete the Wallet app no matter how much you whine and complain about it, it is there to stay, and you agreed to have it.

You do not need to use the Wallet App at all if you don't want to. Stick it in a folder and forget about it.

If this is unacceptable to you, you can stop using the device and its software all together. And find a device that fits your needs better. Make sure you read their terms and conditions beforehand. You'll be surprised to all you agree to without knowing about it.

Wallet offers a convenient way to add a compatible payment card that is already registered for your Apple ID account to Apple Pay ("If you're asked to add the card that you use with iTunes, just enter its security code"):

Set up Apple Pay on your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac - Apple Support

If you would prefer that Apple did not offer this option, you may wish to submit feedback:

3. There is no way to delete the credit card from the Wallet App.

Open the Wallet app.

Tap your credit card at top.

Tap the little i in the circle at lower right.

Scroll to bottom and tap Remove Card

Note that even if you select to use the credit card from iTunes, you are required to enter the 3 digit security code on the back of the CC.

Here’s how CC gets added...

-> Set up Apple Pay on your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac - Apple Support

As I suggested above, Apple Pay is great. It eliminates the total insecurity associated with traditional credit card usage.

And that's...bad? iOS doesn't have the choice of Android pay or Samsung pay, so what's your point?

You don't have the choice of Apple Pay.

That's a good thing in my opinion. I know lots of people that try to make use of it and have nothing but issues with it.

Please read you bogus claim about choice. You don't have the choice of Apple Pay.

It's not a bogus claim. As you mentioned to the op, who has the choice not to use it, that's the choice I'm making and the choice of a different, and in my opinion, better platform.

It's bogus because you don't have the choice of Apple Pay.
