New Delhi: Plans were announced at Google I/O to add support for digital office and hotel keys, as well as digital IDs and car keys to Google’s digital wallet app. According to GSM Arena, there would also be a “rebranding” that would not change the name of the payment service itself; “Google Pay” would continue to be used. The application name has been changed to Google Wallet.
The recent confirmation from a Google employee who told The Verge that Google “has started rolling out the wallet to Android users in 39 countries” reflects this change. All Google Pay customers are expected to receive the update in the next few days. (Also Read: Rupee Hits All-Time Low of 80 Against US Dollar, Weakening Indian Stock Indices)
In most countries where Google Pay can be accessed, the new wallet app will replace the current Google Pay app. Android customers in the US and Singapore, meanwhile, will continue to use both the Google Pay and Wallet apps as the former is used for person-to-person payments and these markets offer money management capabilities, as reported by GSM Arena.
