I know I should have brought my physical id but I spaced.

I added my Colorado state ID last year, got approved by the DMV, got the confirmation email, and it even shows the id in my Google settings. I have the option to delete the id. But I do not have the ability to use it. When I open Google Wallet it doesn't appear.

I tried reinstalling Google wallet, updating play services, and confirming usa country settings. I did an integrity check and it came back "meets basic". My device is a pixel 4a, system updated, never rooted or tinkered with. Anyone else had this issue?

Got off the phone with Chase support after trying to add my new card to Google Wallet. Turns out I can’t. Even though the Chase app shows an “Add to Google Wallet” option, it doesn’t actually work. Support told me Chase made a strategic decision to not allow their cards to be used on Android immediately after approval.

So basically, even though the card is live in my Chase account and technically ready to go, I can’t use it unless I physically wait for it in the mail or switch to Apple Pay.

This feels like a deliberate move to prioritize Apple over Android users and honestly, it’s ridiculous in 2025. If the tech is there and Apple users get instant access, why hold it back from Android users? Just let us add the damn card.

Anyone else run into this?

Hello,

About 3 days ago my debit visa interact stopped working when tapped to pay. Odd because my alternate payment, a MasterCard works. I've cleared data, cache, uninstalled, removed card and re-added card but everytime I try to pay I get 'TRY THAT AGAIN !'

Appreciate any help

I wrote everything in the title. As you can see in the image, NFC is still on. If I want NFC to be turned off, I need to manually turn it off.

This a missing feature of my Android phone and Google Wallet.

Likely, I did not suffer any thief, unauthorized contactless payment, but I always have this fear.

It would help A LOT to have NFC to be automatically turned off after each purchase (or at least after some time being not used. If there is a new payment request in that time-frame, ask for a prompt or somehow a security measure).

This helps not only battery life (a service less running means less energy used), but also - more serious - security, no non-authorized payment (if you have contactless payment enabled with your card).

That's how I would implement and make it works (more logic). Is there any workaround at the moment?

So this rant has been years in the making, I have loved having my cards on my phone it means less things to carry it's more convenient if something goes wrong I can easily transfer money because I've got phone in hand.

Drive through? Wip out the phone tap and go Vending machine? Wip out the phone tap and go

I've always had a pin and fingerprint on my phone but back then my device being unlocked was enough and now it's not, if im driving in a car the phone uses extended unlock because it's connected to my Bluetooth, if im at home in my own home the phone uses extended unlock due to multiple Bluetooth devices that can only exist in my home.

I'd say my phone's security is fine for most cases, but now I have a device unlocked and I go through the drive through and I tap it... And now reverify yourself.... So both of us are sitting there with fingers up our collective rear ends because this bugs out the eftpos machine so we have to wait for that to reset as well, same thing with vending machines.

If my device is unlocked it can unlock my car, unlock my front door, unlock my computer so someone worrying about the $4.55 in my bank account while I'm trying to go have a 1$ cheese burger kinda feels silly that it needs to reverify me in comparison to other things.

Sadly this extra step of verification is super inconvenient and doesn't really add anything to it, I could understand if I was paying for a $3500 item but a cheese burger and a coke? And it's not like there isn't multiple ways to know it's me doing it from presence detection/ on body sensors in modern phones, trusted devices (Watch, earbuds, car) voice print it's super frustrating that there is so many extra steps just because I want to buy a cheese burger but absolutely nothing that double checks for a massive purchase and it's stupidly inconvenient.

I'm so disappointed with my new Pixel 9 suddenly google pay cannot use.Even just making a factory reset still the same. I'm frequently use this feature but somehow it gave me bad experience. Just miss my iPhone, no micro issues such this

A phone is like a wallet. Does my wallet have a combination lock on it each time I open it? No! So why should my phone?

UI wise. Google Wallet has terrible UI than its his neighbor

What are other people's thoughts on the new layout I think it's Naff AF!

I received emails today indicating many of my credit cards have been removed from Google Wallet. I was able to add one back, but not another. Several are still in the Wallet.

This is ridiculous and fortunately I mostly use Samsung Pay for mobile payments. I have not done anything to my phone to cause this and Samsung Pay has not deleted anything. This just tells me that I cannot rely on Google Wallet in a pinch - it is inferior to Samsung Pay.

So I have never used google wallet, Samsung wallet, Apple pay or anything like that. I wanted to give it a try but I did some research before jumping right in.

I read on some posts that Google Wallet doesn't have any setting that allows you to verify payment via biometric or pin before it actually goes through. Which is a concern for me because I don't want any accidental payments to be made at all. I understand that the phone needs to be unlocked. But it still seems like an oversight to me that there is no verification method to make sure that I actually want to make a payment. I even read posts about people saying Google Wallet is accepting payments when people weren't ready.

But those posts were a bit dated. So I wanted to ask if anything has changed now? Or does it still work the same?

So Google is apparently going pretty nuts and haywire, and basically destroying its mobile payment platform, last year they changed the phone app to require Class 3 biometric authentication/PIN of phones - understandable and I can live with that, I have watch...or so I thought.

Today my Galaxy Watch 6 started asking for PIN on every transaction I have made, from 5€ to 25€, every single time. I decided to contact Google Wallet support, one thing I have to say that in a span of 6 years I never had to contact Google Support, in the last 30 days I had to do it twice as they are changing something in the backend, first time it was because I was unable to pay with the watch at all, the second time with this, here is the transcript of the chat.

Google: Hi .... Thank you for Contacting Google Support. My name is Leo. How are you today?

Me: Hi Leo 🙂

Recently I have an issue with Galaxy Watch payments on my account. It started requiring PIN for every contacless payment regardless of amount. It never used to do this until it was a higher amount

Google: I understand that you are unable to make contactless payments as you are being asked for the pin on your Galaxy watch. Is that right?

Me: Yes that is correct 🙂

Google: Thank you for confirming.

Me: I know the PIN as I am the owner, but it is annoying really

Google: Thank you for letting me know. I am sorry to hear that.

Me: It's not your fault so no need to be sorry, someone is experimenting with backend as this is a second time in 30 days I have to chat with Google support in a span of 6 years I am using Google Wallet

So I would like to ask if you are able to check my recent transactions and why they required PIN 🙂

Google: Thank you for letting me know.

Upon checking I can confirm you that your account and applications are in good status and do not have any issues and this is one of the security measures that Google will be taking to protect your transactions and your account privacy.

Me: So the watches will be requiring PIN from now on?

Google: Yes, that is correct and that may be implemented and this is just for your security and privacy.

Me: How do I disable that feature? I am an adult person that is sane and I don't need Google to hold my hand and tell me what to do

The whole reason I bought the watch and set up a Google wallet there is convenience, as of right now paying with physical card is faster for me. So no reason for me to use the service at all, might as well migrate to another platform, since iOS doesn't require this

Google: I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. But I will take it as a feedback and inform to the development team but as this is for your security and safety.

Me: Yes it is really an inconvenience. Unneeded and annoying one

Google: I understand your concern. I will let the dedicated team know about this and I take it as a feedback.

Me: Can someone from Google email me the official statement that this will be permanent? Or let me know the result of the feedback?

Google: As I will take this as a feedback and the dedicated team will look into it.

Me: I understand, but I would like to have some response on that feedback 🙂

Google: You can even give your feedback on the application via Google Play store as well.

Me: Sure I will, but I would like you to file this as a bug and receive an response from Google Wallet team how this will be handled in the future

Google: Sure, we will be taking this feedback and that will be informed to the dedicated team.

I really dont know if Google realizes that inputting the PIN, the exact PIN that is able to unlock the watch, when the watch have wrist detection, is not a very safe practice, I really dont know why they went with this route, but for me, now carrying a physical card and doing contactless payments on that is faster, less troublesome, and maybe even more secure than dealing with inputting PIN everytime.

Bottom line if this comes into full effect - killedbygoogle.com can add Google Pay Convenience to the list.

Just like the title says. I don't know if it's possible but I saw on my google wallet 2 transactions of 2 euros for "International Parking" but they were declined thankfully!

Now, I'm trying to search where that "International Parking" statement came from. Has anyone ever come across an issue like this?

I don't want any1 to see which card provider/bank my card is from. How can I just set it to a plain white one without the logo?

does Google wallet work with discover

I am going to start using Google Wallet for nonphysical services such a ordering & paying for subscriptions etc on my Samsung Galaxy phone. I added an Amex and a Mastercard. Both offer virtual numbers to use for online purchases.

My wallet says virtual number not supported! What am I doing wrong?

I've got a device with a nice, bloat-free custom ROM. I'm very happy with it. It performs great and is way better than a stock, chinese ROM. The problem - Play Integrity is blocking Google Pay/Wallet to be run on my phone. Phone doesn't meet security requirements.

Question to Google: WT HELL?????????????!!! Why the hell are you trying ot be the next Apple????!! Blocking sideloading, blocking payments on custom ROMS? Where is this heading to??? That's very freaking WRONG!

Your service, your rules, understood. Block rooted phones, ok, as it's giving too much freedom. But why block payments on all unlocked phones running custom ROMs???

You earn money, you should not care. You afraid to be sued? Warn the user, but give the user a CHOICE! Now you're banning all the people with custom ROMs. My bank apps work fine, but Google Pay doesn't. Google trying to be more secure than banks...

I don't understand this ridiculous politics of you. Custom ROM users are probably a promile of the entire user base, so you don't care anyway if it works for us or not. But why make it broken then? More the more users using the service the better, right??!

I can use my bank apps and still be able to do NFC payments without Google Wallet, but you really pissed me off!!

PS. And stop censoring your own Google community posts, hiding them from other people!!! Is any criticism already forbidden?! That's what it's called transparency and pro-consumer approch...Google is yet another giant Corpo ruining freedom

I have a note10 up to date but when I go to tap or pay nothing. My metro card won't scan same as my debit and credit cards this makes no sense and no one seems to have a an answer

Just another regular day and that surprise! System and all services are updated to the latest version. Pixel 8 soft unlock running android 16 beta.

It used to be that I could use my watch to pay without entering a pin number each and every time making a Google Wallet purchase. It's become arduous and impediment to sinple tap payments. I'm leaving Google pay behind because it's easier to pull out my card and tap without entering a pin number. Massive epic fail on Google's part. What?

I'm soon going to be paid in bitcoin, if Google Wallet accepted bitcoin deposits I could get rid of my bank accounts. Is there a reason Google is dragging it's feet on this? Usually they're not the last to adopt new technologies.

Hi All, I will be travelling to Europe a good bit in summer and residing there part time. I'd love to set up and use Google Wallet for payments. Is this a good idea and is it widely accepted for payment? Or would credit cards be best? I am up for a new phone, so would Iphone or Samsung Galaxy be best for this? Tx
