Google Wallet takes it up a notch with the latest update
Let’s go in parts. In the case of Wear OS, the management of stored documents is significantly improved thanks to new pass groupsas 9to5Google explains. So there is no longer any need to go through a long list of passes until you find the one you are looking for, but instead they will be grouped by types, for example cinema tickets, train tickets, boarding passes. From there, you can navigate through each group of passes like a carousel and find what you’re looking for faster. There’s even a section for non-scanned passes.
Likewise, the Wallet website has been expanded to reach up to 43 countries. Initially, this version was only available in 15 countries (it landed in Europe in July), but it will now be operational in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland , France. , Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Europe , Switzerland, Sweden, Thailand, United Kingdom, Ukraine, United States, United States and Vietnam.
What is the Google Wallet website for? To organize payment cards, passes, loyalty cards and more from the Chrome browser, in addition to facilitating online payments. However, according to Google itself, the Wallet site is still in phase 1, but the idea is for it to reach everyone.
Also Google Wallet has been expanded for Androidwhich now reaches ten new countries, including Bermuda, Nicaragua, Panama and Paraguay, to exceed a hundred territories.
This update also Vitamin Google Wallet for Gmail: From now on, when you receive a confirmation email for a train ticket, it will automatically go to your Google wallet, which was already the case with cinema tickets and loyalty cards.
Finally, and although it is less striking for users, security improvements are included to prevent copies and falsifications (Motics from VDV eTicket Services) as well as in the transit API for developers. In other words, it’s easier to convert physical transit cards into digital cards for Google Wallet.
