In other words, you don’t need to install a new app, you’ll simply update Google Pay and it will become Google Wallet. For now, you’ll have both.Īlright, so Google Wallet is rolling out as an update to Google Pay. In short, Google Pay is now becoming Google Wallet and who knows what will happen to G Pay. I left out a lot of boring detail in there, but we can now fast forward to today knowing what I just told you. Since his vision sucked and the service flopped, Google is coming back around to Google Pay, which will now be known once again as Google Wallet. However, that failed and the guy who made that horrible decision is no longer with the company. G Pay wanted to be more than mobile payments, so Google tried to build in some sort of banking solution into it. Over the past year or so, they’ve stripped many of the best features from Google Pay, because again, G Pay was the future. Google then did a Google thing and created “G Pay” in 2020 as yet another future replacement for Google Pay. It was an awkward breakup that eventually worked itself into a decent payment system once Google brought them back together as Google Pay in 2018. Several years ago, Google broke up the original Google Wallet and split it into a couple of apps (Google Wallet and Android Pay). There might be some confusion at the moment, since Google has both “Google Pay” and “G Pay” apps on phones, so let’s back up for a second.
They didn’t provide any sort of specific timeline, but as of today, a small group of folks have begun receiving the update that rids their phone of Google Pay and replaces it with this new Google Wallet experience. Google announced back at Google I/O that we would soon be welcoming back an old friend, Google Wallet.
