- Google Wallet’s search function could roll out soon, and we’re bringing you an early preview.
- Besides a fully working search interface, we’re also seeing suggested payment methods and loyalty cards.
- Google is also likely to integrate the promised transaction history into search.
For many of us, Google Wallet has become the ever-growing storehouse for not just our credit or debit cards but also our passes, IDs, vouchers, and virtually everything else that needs to be conserved digitally. However, as it grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage or sort, which is why Google has been building search functionality for Wallet for quite some time. A little over a year ago, we saw Wallet’s Search UI in its early form. Now, we’re getting a preview of a more functional version, along with elements that align with Google’s Material 3 Expressive philosophy.
We were recently able to activate the search functionality in Google Wallet following its update to version 26.3.856536501. It can be accessed using the magnifying glass icon on the top right, and tapping it reveals your most recent searches. With this search option, you can essentially look up virtually anything stored in the wallet.
