#google pay

Google has started rolling out a redesigned Google Wallet app for Android alongside new Google Pay verification features announced during Google I/O 2026. The updated Google Wallet interface introduces a redesigned homepage with quicker access to passes, boarding tickets, and payment cards. Google also added a new “View more” floating action button that opens a searchable hub for stored passes, transaction history, and other Wallet content. Alongside the redesign, Google Pay is introducing cross-device payment verification for desktop purchases. Users making payments on desktop browsers can now approve transactions through their Android phones using biometric authentication, PIN verification, or QR code scanning. Google said the feature is designed to improve checkout security while reducing extra redirects and one-time password prompts during online purchases. GCash users can now start using Google Pay even without a physical card, as the e-wallet begins rolling out support for the service across the Philippines. The update allows verified users aged 18 and above to link their GCash to Google Pay.
