BlendOS for iPhone: the gate, the till and Apple Wallet in your pocket
BlendOS for iPhone is Blend's event app on the team's own iPhones: one code from the organizer's dashboard turns each phone into a gate scanner, a check-in station, a bar till, a box office or a cashless desk, and a walk-in buyer gets their ticket straight into Apple Wallet. It shares every screen with BlendOS for Android, so iPhones and Android phones work the same event on the same live guest list.

What is BlendOS for iPhone?
BlendOS for iPhone is Blend's event operating system on iPhone: an app, not a device, that turns the iPhones an event team already carries into the gates, tills and desks the event needs. Each phone takes its job from a code the organizer issues in the Blend dashboard, and opens straight into that job.
It is the same BlendOS described on the BlendOS hub, with the same screens as BlendOS for Android: a door staff member on an iPhone and a bartender on an Android phone read the same guest list and report to the same dashboard.

Can BlendOS put a ticket straight into Apple Wallet?
Yes. After a sale at the door or the counter, BlendOS shows two buttons: Ticket PDF and Add to Apple Wallet. The buyer gets their ticket on their own phone before they walk away, and the ticket is the same one the gate scans. Every online buyer also gets their ticket by email and WhatsApp, and into Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.
Can an iPhone sell seats at the door on Blend?
Yes. The walk-in till on BlendOS opens the same seat map buyers see online, with every seat's sold and held status live. The staff member picks the seats, takes the buyer's phone number and sells, so a seat sold at the door disappears online at once and is never sold twice.
How do promoters use BlendOS on their iPhone?
The organizer creates each promoter in the Blend dashboard and sends them a code by WhatsApp or SMS. The promoter signs in to BlendOS with their email and that code, and sees their own referral code to copy and share, their attributed sales, and their commission earned, owed and paid, event by event. Promoters stop asking the organizer how much they sold.
Can the organizer run the whole event from an iPhone?
Yes. BlendOS for iPhone opens the organizer's own Blend app: events, attendees, payouts and each event's host panel, with the same screens as on Android and iPad. Blenny, Blend's own AI agent, sits on top, so the organizer can ask "how many people are inside?" or "which bar is slowest?" by text or voice, in English or Arabic. Team invitations open straight in the app from their link. See what Blenny does.
How does BlendOS for iPhone stay in sync on a busy night?
BlendOS shows the operator anything that has not synced yet and lets them settle it, so a stuck record is never invisible. It also keeps every iPhone on the latest version: when a phone runs an outdated BlendOS, it is asked to update before it works, so the gate and the bar never run different rules on the same night.
