I have cycled power on phone after setting the conditions listed above and the tracker still displays on lock screen. There is an airplane icon in the black box at the top of the screen.

Hi there


Please try this


Open the Wallet App

  • Unlock your iPhone and open the native Wallet app (do not just double-click the side button for Apple Pay). [1, 2]

Find the Expired Pass

  • Scroll down to the bottom of your main passes and tap on View Expired Passes (or look for the grouped expired passes/boarding pass at the bottom). 

Delete the Pass

  • Tap on the lingering American Airlines flight pass/boarding pass.
  • Tap the More button (...) in the top-right corner.
  • Select Remove Pass (or Delete) and confirm. 

Check Calendar and Third-Party Apps

  • If the card still persists, check your native Calendar app to see if the flight segment is saved as an event with travel alerts enabled, and delete or modify the event.
  • Verify that no other flight tracking app (like Flighty or Flightradar24) has an active "Follow" or Live Activity turned on for that route.

What worked for you- I’ve done everything and can’t get it off. It’s draining my battery
