TL;DR
- Google Wallet’s new in-app notification feed is beginning to reach users.
- Passport-based ID passes are also expanding to more countries.
- Both additions are rolling out gradually, so not everyone may have them yet.
Google Wallet has become a handy home for everything from payment cards to boarding passes, but keeping track of changes to those saved items hasn’t always been straightforward. Google is now addressing that inconvenience with a dedicated notification feed and expanding its digital passport feature to more countries.
The notification feed isn’t entirely unexpected. Earlier this month, we reported that Google’s October Play Services update promised an in-app message center for Wallet, but didn’t explain where users would find it. Now, 9to5Google reports that the feature is starting to appear within the app.
