I’m a longtime Apple Wallet user, and up until recently, it felt like a visual symphony of colors and designs.
Slowly, though, each time a card gets updated, the digital version becomes more basic….even though my physical cards keep their original designs. My Prime Visa is the green Whole Foods design, my Discover it is the clover card, my USAA cards are cobalt blue and bright blue, my Cash App card is tortoiseshell, etc.
All of these used to appear in Apple Wallet looking like the physical cards, but over time, they’ve been replaced with much simpler designs. The card above my Citi card, for example, is polished silver in real life with branding and circular patterns.
My point is that, with the number of cards I have 13 total, (with several not shown in the screenshot) I relied on those visual cues to quickly find the correct card. Now it feels like I can’t really do that, and there doesn’t seem to be any way to change or fix it in a sea of grey and blue.
Has anyone else noticed this? Are there any steps to restore the original card designs, or do I need to message the banks directly to share feedback?
