Google Wallet is preparing to introduce an 'Automatically import passes' feature that scans your photos for eligible tickets and passes, allowing for easier management of digital passes with user review and approval, potentially streamlining the process of adding passes from screenshots or images.
Google Wallet is set to introduce an "Everything else" feature that allows users to digitize various physical documents, such as IDs and insurance cards, into digital passes within the app. This feature, which was previewed at Google I/O, is not yet live but is expected to debut soon. The digital copies are not official replacements for physical documents but offer easier access to the information they contain.
Google Wallet is introducing a new setting called "Automatically add linked passes," which allows related passes such as boarding passes, event tickets, loyalty cards, and more to be linked together for easier organization and access. This feature is currently in beta and may not be available for all passes, and it's up to the pass issuer to link passes. While the feature is enabled by default, users have the option to disable the auto behavior. This update is part of the new "Passes" sub-section in Google Wallet settings on Android.
Google Wallet is reportedly adding support for the same pass files used by Apple Wallet, allowing Android users to import passes meant for Apple Wallet. This move aims to enhance the functionality of Google Wallet, which has previously struggled in the area of digital passes. The support for "pkpass" files, used to add passes to Apple Wallet, appears to be rolling out to some Android users, although it seems to be a server-side update. Additionally, Google Wallet recently launched support for automatically importing movie tickets and boarding passes from Gmail, as well as allowing users to manually archive expired passes.
