The face of the card changes, and the Octopus app has added a cache function of the face of the card – Engadget’s Chinese version

Unknowingly, Octopus has been launched for 25 years. From a physical storage value card that once dominated the world, it has also entered smartphones with today’s age and has become an electronic wallet service. What most impresses everyone about the Octopus is the card pattern which combines the image of the Roman numeral 8 and the infinity symbol ∞. In the age of personalization, the card face may also be changed. Octopus Corporation officially launched the card face shop function in the iOS app of the same name today, allowing users to get and change the card face in the iPhone and Apple Watch Octopus card face pattern can display the card face of your choice during the transaction, making it even more distinctive.

After iPhone users in Hong Kong update to the latest version of the Octopus app in the App Store, they will see an additional section called “Octopus Card Shop”. Click on it to see 14 card faces that have been put on the shelves, including Hello Kitty, Dakouzai, Fullmetal Alchemist IP, six portrait paintings by Japanese artists, four cat-themed works by local Hong Kong artists, and a pen- 25th anniversary created by local handicapped artist Tang Yongran. Users will be able to choose one for free, and the validity period is 3 years.

After successful acceptance and application, the iPhone Wallet app will immediately display the face of the new card, and of course the dynamic island animation of the iPhone 14 Pro can also be seen. Like the editor, users who add multiple Octopus cards for different purposes to the iPhone can specify which one belongs to which purpose.

At the moment, the card shop only offers one card face for free. If you are interested in other card faces, you have to wait for the Octopus Company to open the purchase function. At the same time, the card face function does not support the elderly and Octopus cooperative mobile phone card bank.
