For instance, you could choose to allow Autofill to use your passport but block access to your driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n<p>Since Play Services updates roll out gradually, this feature is not widely available just yet. It should roll out for more users over time once the update goes wide.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Wg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google wallet 2026 redesign new passes hero 2\"  alt=\"New Google Wallet UI running on a Pixel, as of April 2026.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/google-wallet-2026-redesign-new-passes-hero-2-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Joe Maring \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Google also mentions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-wallet-redesign-update-starred-favorites-3656461\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the redesigned Wallet interface<\/a> in the changelog. The company notes that the new UI makes it easier to quickly access passes, search, and discover what you need.
