Does QR now support Passbook/Apple Wallet ?
Regular QR flyer here. I love using mobile boarding passes but QR mobile boarding passes are honestly a nuisance. Recently, the QR app on my iPhone was updated and there's now a little icon in the App Store that says "This app supports Wallet." I don't have any upcoming QR bookings but was wondering if anyone here can confirm whether QR mobile boarding passes can be added to Passbook/Wallet ?

Do they even allow you to have mobile BPs? I gave up on anything except QR-stock BPs after using printed BPs a few times where I got through security etc. alright but at check in, they always printed new BPs for me in order to give me a QR-style BP and the wallet indicating premium/non-premium.
That being said, my latest web check-in email from 1 month ago has no link to any passbook things, just a pdf.

Hooray! Thanks for the update - can confirm I've just successfully added my boarding passes for my QR flights later today to Apple Wallet

Funnily enough on my locked screen the time shown is incorrect - it is showing as 2 hours prior to the actual flight time. I initially thought my flight had had a last minute time change earlier when I glanced at my locked phone!!
Also, I would advise people to also take a paper boarding pass for the time being - until QR staff are familiar with the mobile passes - as my mobile pass wouldn't scan for entrance to Al Mourjan and I had to show my paper pass at the desk. I'm sure at the lounge they would have printed a copy if need be, but easier just to take one at check-in if you're at the desk anyway.

Usually after I check-in using the app, there's a confirmation page that displays a barcode with the "Add to Apple Wallet" icon right below. You may also find it in the "My trips" section

Just because the option is there, doesn't mean QR use it! On my last four legs was given paper boarding passes and they refused to use the Passbook boarding passes because they "wouldn't scan"...
