Google has launched its much-anticipated Google Wallet App in India. This new application is set to offer numerous benefits to its users, distinguishing itself significantly from Google Pay (GPay).
The Google Wallet App allows users to store various documents. In addition, it provides a platform to store a variety of items such as gift cards, movie tickets, and boarding passes. The app is packed with several other features that are sure to enhance the user experience.
Let’s delve deeper into the specifics of the Google Wallet App and understand how it stands apart from GPay:
Google Wallet App vs GPay: The Key Differences
Indian users have been eagerly waiting for the Google Wallet App. Now, the wait is over as the app is readily available for download on the Google Play Store. Some users had already gained access to this wallet earlier.
The Google Wallet App can be used to store various items such as gift cards, movie tickets, and boarding passes. However, it’s important to note that you cannot make payments through Google Wallet. This makes the app fundamentally different from other wallet apps like Paytm Wallet or Amazon Wallet, and even from GPay.
For your information, Google Wallet offers the convenience of storing items like flight passes, transit cards, event tickets, and boarding passes. Moreover, with the help of Google Wallet, you can also store Supercoins available on Flipkart, gift cards from Shoppers Stop, and other brands. Storing all your cards in Google Wallet means you can easily access all your cards in one place.
Interestingly, Google Wallet operates similarly to Apple Wallet. However, it is quite different from Google Pay. While you can make payments using UPI with Google Pay, Google Wallet allows you to store cards, documents, and more.
In addition to Android phones, you can also use Google Wallet on watches with Wear OS. Furthermore, Google Wallet features a Pass Add-On. To use this feature, you need to enable it on Gmail. Once enabled, any pass received on Gmail will automatically be stored in Google Wallet. Please note that biometric verification will be mandatory to access these passes.
