But they’ve provided us a sneak peak at what’s to come later in the year.

iOS 17 is expected to be available for installation this autumn, or around September when Apple’s iPhone 15 is forecast to hit the shelves.

When the feature eventually lands on an iPhone near you, it can be accessed via Settings > Passwords > Passwords options.

Despite this, one Twitter user said the iOS 17 feature was a sign that “it’s time to switch back to iOS.”
