Whereas the current Google Wallet UI shows your payment cards at the top of the screen followed by a long list of loyalty cards, transit passes, and other passes, the new UI seems to aim for less scrolling and easier access.<\/p>\n<p>The new UI appears to keep payment cards at the top of the screen, though no payment cards were added to the demo screenshots, but passes now fill up a two-column layout with a \u201cView more\u201d button lower on the page to show additional items. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to say exactly how this will work based on the screenshots and somewhat vague description given, but it\u2019s also shown that Google is adding a \u201cStar\u201d button that acts as a favorite button, giving users the option to pin up to four cards and passes, with everything else presumably showing behind the \u201cView more\u201d button.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"461\" data-id=\"702573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/google-wallet-redesign-prep-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-702573\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"461\" data-id=\"702571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/google-wallet-redesign-prep-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-702571\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"461\" data-id=\"702574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/google-wallet-redesign-prep-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-702574\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"461\" data-id=\"702572\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/google-wallet-redesign-prep-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-702572\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Android Authority never specifies which Google Wallet version this new UI is appearing within, but it was manually enabled, so there\u2019s no indication when it might arrive. Then again, there\u2019s no guarantee it will roll out at all \u2013 that\u2019s the trouble with seeing these in-development changes so early, it\u2019s just too early to say anything definitively or with confidence.<\/p>\n<p>That said, this looks like it\u2019d be a welcome update to Google Wallet, as the current UI can be a little cumbersome when you have more than a few cards and passes populating the app.<\/p>\n<p>More on Google Wallet:<\/p>\n<p>Follow Ben:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NexusBen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Threads<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/nexusben.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5google.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/43RjEnY\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-701536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769540950_254_iMazing_-WWDC25_9to5mac_750x150@2x-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"140\"\/><\/a>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google Wallet is apparently preparing a new app redesign on Android that will show more of your cards&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":266971,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[61,60,202,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-266970","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-mobile","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
