Google Wallet was announced earlier this year at Google I/O 2022. The new application has started to be used today. With the introduction of the application, the differences between them and G Pay, Google’s other wallet-like application, emerged.
Google Wallet acts as a digital wallet
Google Wallet has a much simpler structure compared to G Pay. But that’s what Google is for. Google Wallet, another way of accessing credit cards and other payment methods, aims to provide convenience to its users in this sense.
Controversial change in Google Play Store
Google’s new wallet app offers Android users a digital environment to quickly use and store credit cards, IDs, virtual vehicle keys, vaccination information and more. Google Wallet also has the contactless payment option available in G Pay.
Google Wallet actually functions exactly like a regular wallet. With this system, which acts as a wallet in a digital environment, all cards are collected in one place. G Pay, on the other hand, allows users to send money to each other and track the spending of their linked bank accounts.
Although the two seem to serve relatively similar purposes, Google Wallet stands out in this sense, especially since it has a contactless payment option. Essentially, you need both apps if you want the full Google mobile payment experience. G Pay will automatically redirect you to Google Wallet while using many of its features.
Although these two applications are acting separately for now, we can expect a different move from Google in the future. The technology giant may provide ease of use by gathering both applications under one roof in the future.
Google Wallet is currently only available in certain regions. The scope of the wallet application is expected to expand in the coming period. So, do you plan to use Google Wallet? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
