deleting expired passes from iPhone
And so I begin the the mind-numbing task of deleting a year's worth of expired passes, a perennial annoyance for users of Apple Wallet. I know this has been asked countless times on countless Apple-oriented forums....but what is current state of the art? Has Apple fixed this, or is it App dependent? In my case I am using the AA app with iOS 11.4.1.
Please don't post methods to manually delete passes, I get how to do that. The question is how to auto-expire passes so the user doesn't need to think about it.
edited to add: As discussed here this is admittedly how Apple Wallet was designed to work (passes do not inherently expire) but there are ways this could be improved by both Apple and the app developers.

Hugely frustrating and I agree with the OP. How is it I can quickly clean up my email by selecting "from" and mass delete things, but not this? This is an Apple fail IMO that some sort of mass delete isn't possible.

Expired AA boarding passes can be deleted from Apple Wallet in a few clicks.
From AA app swipe up and select Notifications and Info. Then scroll to bottom of page and select Delete Expired Walket Passes. De-select any pass you don’t want to delete. Click Delete from right top corner of the page.
Yes, they don’t auto delete but an easy periodic bulk dumping of trash.

a relatively painless solution...not automatic but certainly faster than the alternatives.

Seriously, don’t want to delete until after I’ve arrived in case of IRROPS (even if I also taken a screenshot so I can use when accessing a Centurion or PP lounge upon landing- yeah, double delete).

I get that, we travel a lot too. That said, there is a big difference between waiting until one has arrived and waiting "a year"
Anyhow, sounds like a solution has been provided.

Never delete. Just let them pile up. Don't really care as long as the newest BP is at the top. Except for Korean Air. They like to group all their passes together, regardless of date. Which makes it very confusing as to where your BP went.

Seems this was actually available in iOS 11.4.1 that the OP is using as well. I had skipped from 10 to 12 and assumed it was introduced in 12.
