Google Wallet is getting a new grid layout, favorites, as well as expanded search and sorting options.
Google Wallet is getting a major redesign: instead of the old list view, the app will now show cards and passes in a clearer grid layout. Favorites, search and new sorting options are also being added – features many users have wanted for a long time.
As Android Authority reports, Google is giving its Wallet app a substantial redesign. The previous list view is being removed and replaced with a new grid layout. Instead of scrolling endlessly, users will now be able to see multiple cards and passes at a glance. Anyone who keeps a large number of loyalty cards, tickets or boarding passes in Wallet should benefit from this in everyday use. The detailed view for individual cards has also been revised. Colors and graphics now take center stage, while membership numbers and similar information are shown in a slightly smaller format.
Alongside the updated layout, Google is also introducing a new favorites feature. Important cards can be marked with a star and pinned directly to the home screen. Their order can then be adjusted using drag and drop. Google has also improved card and pass management. New additions include a search function and extra sorting options, making it easier to find and organize passes. That said, the implementation does not yet appear to be fully polished: according to reports, adding new favorites is still somewhat cumbersome and requires several steps.
Google has already begun rolling out the Wallet update. However, the rollout is happening gradually, which means the new version of the digital wallet is not yet available on all devices. Aside from the somewhat awkward favorites feature, early user reactions on Reddit have been mostly positive and have praised the improved overview. Many users, however, also see the update as a long-overdue step.
As a child in the 90s, my Gameboy was my steady companion. After school, the PlayStation was fired up. When I finally got my first PC, I was completely hooked. My passion for gaming has never waned since. For me, writing for Notebookcheck means reporting on topics that are really close to my heart – in addition to gaming, I also like to write about e-mobility, photovoltaics and innovative gadgets. When I’m not sitting at my computer, I’m probably on water rescue duty on the Baltic coast or trying to counteract the downsides of my geek life – namely sitting for long periods – at the local swimming pool.
