"Google Pay App to Shut Down in the US in June"

Google is discontinuing the standalone Google Pay app in the US on June 4th, 2024, in favor of Google Wallet to simplify their payment offerings and create a more unified experience for users. After the deadline, Google Wallet will take over as the primary platform for contactless payments, loyalty card storage, and managing transit passes and boarding passes. Some features like Peer-to-peer payments and viewing/managing the Google Pay balance within the app will no longer be available, but users can still access this information through the Google Pay website. The move signifies Google's effort to streamline its offerings and provide a more comprehensive user experience through Google Wallet, which operates in over 180 countries.
