GoKawiilGoogle Wallet testing expanded verification options for tap-to-pay purchases
Code found in Google Wallet version 26.42.1003171897 reveals a new 'Tap to pay' option under the app's Verification settings, according to Android Authority. The feature currently crashes the app when selected, so its exact function and security safeguards remain unclear. It appears designed to extend to regular contactless purchases the kind of verification flexibility Google Wallet already offers for transit payments.
