You might use your phone for many things like browsing the internet, playing games, opening apps you like, or watching videos.
You might even use it to make calls, which is a bit traditional. You likely also use your phone to make payments, or to show your boarding passes and tickets for events.
This involves using Google Wallet. Google Wallet has just introduced a feature that the iPhone Wallet doesn’t have: it can now add passes automatically if they are linked.
Abner Li from 9to5Google has just announced a new update. It’s a practical idea: using your smartphone to tap on a payment machine or to display your boarding pass at the airport is really convenient.
It’s much simpler than having to pull out your wallet or search for the small paper ticket from the airline. Airports can be confusing places with a lot to remember, so only needing to look after your phone is a big help.
In the past, Google Wallet was not as advanced as Apple Wallet because it didn’t support many types of tickets and passes in its preferred format. This situation has now improved with the introduction of an exciting new feature.
Google has now included a feature for linking passes. When you go into Google Wallet and select your profile details at the top right, you can access Wallet settings. A new option called Passes appears on this page, and it’s activated automatically. The description says, “Let pass providers add related event tickets, promotions, offers, and more to your current passes by themselves.”
What we think?
I think the new Google Wallet feature is really smart. It makes things easier by adding passes for you. No more searching for paper tickets at airports. Just use your phone! This is great because it’s simpler and saves time.
Before, Google Wallet couldn’t do this like Apple Wallet. Now, it’s even better. Adding passes automatically is a big plus. It helps a lot, especially when I’m in a rush.
