Fortunately, there's a way to add it on any device running Nougat or higher.

Unfortunately, many cards and passes are not officially supported — but that doesn't mean you can't add them.

Popular chat apps like Messenger allow us to communicate with friends and family across iOS and Android phones alike. However, that interconnectivity doesn't mean both apps are the same.

The app that started as simply a photo-sharing social media platform has expanded to encompass so much more than that.
