Google Wallet Can Now Track Flights, Trains, and Events in Real Time Without Opening a Single App

Google Wallet is one of the important parts of our lives, if we use it in the right way. Over the years, the app has evolved far beyond just being a simple payment app. The tech giant has rolled out several updates, keeping in mind how to simplify travel journeys. These updates now bring a centralized hub for debit and credit cards. It will now handle state IDs too and manage passports. Google Wallet will now also handle your membership cards and remind you about your event tickets, that too without opening a single app.

Live Updates

One of the striking features that’s coming in Google Wallet is the Live Updates, managing your train, flight journeys, or when you are attending any event.

The best example is that as soon as you book your flight, the Google Wallet will start showing you the details about your flight in the dedicated progress bar. This will allow you to track your journey at a glance. Other than this, the details will also appear on your lock screen, always on display, and next to the time bar, too.

Service Integrations

To recall, Google announced its intentions regarding introducing new overhauls at its I/O 2025. The firm talked of incorporating Live Updates of Google Maps with Waymo, Uber Eats, or other ride-hailing applications.

The company is now extending all these features and functionality to Google Wallet and making travel management easier.

Seamless Card and Loyalty Pass Management

Another thing that the tech giant is considering is the enhancement of the process of adding and managing cards by users. It is now possible to add your credit or debit card to Wallet without adding the physical card. This enables quicker and convenient set-up.

Furthermore, Android 12 and below users will be notified about loyalty passes imported to Gmail, so that you can never lose all the rewards and benefits.

Google Wallet is turning into a one-stop application for dealing with everyday life, as well as traveling. The company is minimizing the use of numerous applications by combining Live Updates and Card to ensure that the most relevant information is available and easy to monitor.
