Google continues to unnecessarily confuse users with its paid services and apps. In the beginning there were google-wallet Y AndroidPay. But google wallet disappeared and Android Pay was renamed to GooglePay. Now Google Pay disappears and is called… Google Wallet, going back to the beginning. Except if you live in the United States and Singapore, where Wallet and Pay are kept separate. A gibberish.
Focusing on our country, the app GooglePaywhich is installed by default on Android phones, it has just been updated to be called Google Wallet.
With this change, Google intends bring together different forms of payment in one place that can be reached from an Android mobile, or any other device that has the Chrome browser.
As we see in the video, the new google wallet It intends to replace the purse of a lifetime.
In the app we can save our bank cards, gift cards, movie tickets and other shows, plane tickets, etc. And from now on, also things like digital car keys, or driving license.
In Spain google-wallet just recently added Bankia cards.
In addition to the app itself and Chrome, you can use this wallet within the main Google applications, such as Maps, Gmail, etc. And of course, Pay through the app or by NFC at any store that accepts Google Pay.
the app of google-wallet works on any mobile you have Android 5.2 or higher, that is to say, practically in all those sold in the last 7 or 8 years. If you don’t have it installed on your smartphone, you can download it from this Google Play Store link.
Hopefully Google is satisfied with this umpteenth change, and Google Wallet becomes the company’s final means of payment.
Curiously, this update, although it was announced in May, comes just one day after Google announced that it will accept payments with systems other than its own in the Google Play Store. But not in games…
