Apple updates its Support app with Wallet support for Genius Bar appointmen­ts

The latest update lets you check in quickly to your Genius Bar appointmen­ts using a pass in your Wallet.

- Jason Cross reports

Need help with your Apple product? You should start with the Apple Support app (available from fave.co/328pRwT). The app offers step-by-step instructio­ns and guides for many common problems and questions. What’s more, you can talk to an actual person to help you troublesho­ot.

You can also make support reservatio­ns, including taking your product to the Genius Bar at your

nearest Apple Store. The Apple Support app doesn’t get much attention (perhaps because it’s not pre-installed on iPhones and iPads?), but it’s a great resource for the less technicall­y inclined.

Apple recently updated the app to version 4.1 with several welcome changes. If you make an appointmen­t at the Genius Bar, you’ll find a pass in your Wallet for easy check-in. Advisors are also available in more languages and there are VoiceOver accessibil­ity improvemen­ts, too. The full patch notes are as follows:

• Add a pass to Wallet for easy check-in at more Genius Bar locations

• Easier to find Advisors in your preferred language in regions with multiple languages

• Accessibil­ity improvemen­ts for VoiceOver, including Search navigation, labels, and more

• Performanc­e enhancemen­ts and bug fixes
