Google is also adding the ability for companies to store generic passes in Wallet that don’t fit into existing categories, and you have the option of using your phone’s camera to scan any existing barcode yourself and save them to Google Wallet (though results may vary). The good news is that any stores, apps, or services that work with Google Pay will keep working as normal in the new Wallet app. You’ll also be able to copy passes from Gmail and Google Photos to Wallet. Google used a concert as an example, where you might have parking tickets, event tickets, and food vouchers that should be organized in the same place. Much of that functionality is already possible with Pay, but Google wants Wallet to be more accessible - more phones will have a Wallet button on the lock screen (Pixels have it for Pay already), and related items will be grouped together in the app. That includes plane tickets, bus passes, store cards/rewards programs, gift cards, vaccine cards, temporary offers.

Google Pay was then discontinued and redesigned Google discontinued Google Pay Send in 2020 as the online payment feature was eventually ported over to Google Pay. Taylor Martin/CNET There was also something called Google Pay SendĪlthough Google Wallet and Android Pay merged, it took a few months for the peer-to-peer payment features to make their way over to Google Pay, and so Google redesigned Google Wallet into Google Pay Send for sending and receiving payments online.
