- Google Wallet may soon make it easier to add cards and passes by allowing you to add more than one at once.
- It looks like the app is getting read to scan photos saved to your phone for passes capable of being imported.
- Right now, none of this is functional, but the feature might arrive in a future Wallet release.
OK, so you consider yourself pretty down with Google and its services. You send all your mail through Gmail, you’ve got all your pics saved to the cloud in Photos, and you keep your life organized with Calendar. You probably even have your credit card saved to Google Wallet. But is that all you use it for? If you’ve yet to take full advantage of what Wallet offers, Google may be working on a change that could make getting started easier than ever.
In addition to payment cards, Wallet supports all manner of passes and cards: loyalty programs, event tickets, IDs, and even your vaccination record. Over time, Google’s been expanding that list to include more and more of the stuff you’d normally carry around in your physical wallet, most recently adding an “Everything else” option that lets you import pretty much any text-based card.
