Apple announced support for digital student ID cards in Apple Wallet at WWDC 2018. The feature rolled out in September of the same year, with the iOS 12 and watchOS 12 updates, and has since been used by various institutions of higher education.
The University of Texas at Austin is now set to join the likes of Johns Hopkins and Purdue, as it has launched a digital ID initiative, set to be implemented in 2027.
