Google Wallet has become one of the most versatile apps you can have on your Android phone. Not only does it hold your important debit and credit cards, but it can also hold your IDs, passports, hall tickets, membership cards and much more.
In the right scenarios, this actually allows you to simply travel with your phone, completely freeing you from a physical wallet. The best part is that Google continues to provide updates that make it better and better. And it looks like Wallet is getting a new update that uses live updates in a variety of ways to ensure you’re up to date with the latest information about your trip or event.
Google continues to add more features
9to5Google was able to announce this news, sharing that Wallet will now offer improved support for over-the-air updates, bringing it to a range of services and apps, ensuring that you are never out of the loop when it comes to the things that are important to you. You should be able to see live updates for flights, train and vehicle travel, which also includes ride-sharing services like Uber.
As for details, it’s unclear when this particular feature will be available to everyone, but it’s now part of Google System Serviceswhich means it is accessible to everyone. According to the notes, there’s also a good chance you’ll see the live update for events like concerts as well. Essentially, this will make Google Wallet even better than it is now.
Of course, if you’re still using a competing product like Samsung Wallet, we highly recommend giving Google Wallet a try. Everyone has their own characteristics to appreciate, so only you can truly judge what suits you best in a daily scenario. Either way, both are available for a free trial, so there’s no loss in trying each if you have the time.
