Google Wallet may soon let you favorite passes for faster access (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-25 09:12:17

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Wallet seems to be preparing a new way to “favorite” passes. Users will be able to tap a star button to add a pass to their favorites and have it appear on the home screen. It’s unclear whether the starred or favorited passes will be highlighted somehow on the Wallet app’s home screen, or if they’ll show up directly on your phone’s home screen. Google Wallet has steadily evolved from a simple payment tool into a hub for boarding passes, transi

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-10-12 05:45:05

Ever since Apple Pay Later was abruptly discontinued last year, Apple has been steadily adding third-party ‘pay later’ services as alternatives. And now thanks to an Apple Wallet update, those options are easier to find and use than ever before. Apple Wallet now has a ‘Pay Later Options’ menu with streamlined setup Before today Apple Pay already included support for using third-party ‘pay later’ services such as Klarna and Affirm.

Android 16’s new Wallet shortcut is missing on some Pixels, and Google won’t say why

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 adds a shortcut to open Google Wallet with a power button double-press, but Google has limited this feature to the Pixel 8 and newer devices. Despite no apparent technical limitations, Google intentionally disabled the gesture on older phones like the Pixel 7 Pro, offering no clear reason for the decision. The feature was manually enabled on an unsupported Pixel 7 Pro and worked perfectly, suggesting the hardware is capable and the limitation is

TL;DR Google Wallet has gained a new UI when you activate it via a double-tap of the power button. This UI features a transparent design and an animation showing you how to tap your phone. Unfortunately, this UI change means you can no longer launch the full app with a double-tap. Android 16 on Pixel phones lets you double-tap the power button to activate Google Wallet.
