  • Google announced the return of Google Wallet at Google I/O 2022.
  • The new app will store important information, including credit cards, passes, IDs, vaccine cards, and more.
  • It is unclear if this will replace the current two Google Pay apps.

In 2011, Google announced the first Wallet app. It allowed you to store credit/debit cards, pay for items at retail with NFC taps, send money to friends and family, and keep tabs on your various shop passes and discount codes. However, in true Google fashion, the company eventually split aspects of Wallet out into other apps, most notably Android Pay. By 2018, Google had merged Android Pay and Wallet into one app, now known as Google Pay.
