  • Google Wallet has gained a new UI when you activate it via a double-tap of the power button.
  • This UI features a transparent design and an animation showing you how to tap your phone.
  • Unfortunately, this UI change means you can no longer launch the full app with a double-tap.

Android 16 on Pixel phones lets you double-tap the power button to activate Google Wallet. That’s a welcome change as the gesture was previously restricted to launching the camera. Now, a new UI is rolling out for this specific situation.

Users on the GoogleWallet subreddit discovered a redesigned UI when you double-tap the power button to summon Wallet. Check out a screen recording via Telegram user @Cooooooob at the top of the page, as well as a screenshot below.
