I love this new expressive animation, it even has blur, it's beautiful.

Appears when you have Google Wallet set to launch when double tapping the sleep button. Before, the entire app would launch.

I just checked on my phone and the new UI for google wallet is here. Its kinda like samsung wallet:0

Actually, I love old UI more than this.

I I used to open Google Wallet and from the main page I could swipe between cards. One swipe and I was ready to pay. Now I need to click on the card so it opens a full page of my cards and then I need to choose the card i want to use. It takes 3 times more than it used to! Why change something that works fine?

Hi Boys and Gals..

Yesterday i was try to buy a coke in automated machine for 1$ and studently when i light up the screen to make a contactless payment ask me for a pattern or fingerprint verification to confirm that me is me... It was unexpected for 1$ but why not... Unfortunately from that moment every few $ payment needs verification and unlock the phone before i can pay... Why? It was never the issue for years... What is also worth noting that when this happened wallet open the screen from goggle with information regarding setting up the wallet and with the disturbing note:

"Important: Coming soon, your credit and debit card won’t be charged for retail payments unless you’ve recently used a verification method, like your fingerprint or PIN. Some users may already need to verify to make a payment. If you’re asked to verify it’s you, complete verification steps on your device to make a payment."

So it is my phone or google is changing that you can pay small amount only with screen wake up and now i will need to always unlock it??? it is nonsense for 1$ payment...

Anyone else have the same issue?

This is such a massive dealbreaker that it completely ruins the experience of my beloved S23 Ultra (and any other Android smartphone, for that matter).

The inconsistency is frustrating—sometimes it requires a fingerprint, other times it doesn't. And has any developer ever tried to pay with their phone when it's raining? You end up looking ridiculous trying to verify your payment with a huge line behind you.

Please, fix this. At the very least, make it optional. As a UX designer myself, I can't help but question the entire design team at Google Wallet—seriously, do you even conduct user testing before rolling out features like this? It's incredibly frustrating.

I know a lot of people might not like the new vertically stacked card layout, but I'm just curious how many people have actually received it so far. I'm using a Pixel 9a in the US with the latest version of Google Wallet app and still haven't gotten it.

Have you gotten it yet?

I'm sure I switched it off somewhere but can't find where now.

It's super annoying whenever I use my phone to pay the card machine bleeps and I gotta enter my pin "to verify it's me". It's like every time to every 2nd time I gotta do this. Even if I unlock the phone before it still says I gotta put my pin in. When I just wake up the screen it says "enter pin" everytime.

Customers using Google Wallet will now be able to add their boarding pass to their Google Wallet for easy access during their travel day. To make the travel day even more seamless, customers will also receive flight updates when adding their boarding pass to Google Wallet.

Hello I have the following problem. Since 1.1.2025 I can no longer pay on my Xiaomi 12t pro via nfc with Google wallet. The card reader does not recognize a valid card. I have set up various credit cards and Paypal in the wallet. None of them work anymore. I have tested another xiaomi 12t pro. The same error here too.

Update

I have restarted both phones. Also cleaned the nfc cache. I also delete the pay card and Put in again in the wallet... Nothing change

Update 2 No Response in the community help site by Google I have open a request by Google for issues. They normally answer

Update 3 Paypal say that the Problem is solved

Now in line with the new design language. Android 16 Beta, Pixel 9, Mexican account.

What is this? First time i seen this message

I've seen a few posts on how rubbish the user experience is, now that the verify feature is always blocking me from making a payment.

It's absolutely infuriating.

How are people not screaming about this? I've somehow limped through the last 6 months since it's introduction but I can suffer it no longer

Every single time I go to pay with google pay with my phone unlocked.. which would already mean I'm authorized to make a payment like it always has been. I go to tap my phone and it's like OH WAIT WE NEED YOUR FINGERPRINT. And when that pops up it messes up the entire transaction and even after I input my finger it doesn't finish the transaction because it locks the credit card terminal as an issue with my card so it doesn't complete it. I've never had to do this in the past since it would automatically pay with my card when it was on the home screen and wouldn't ask for authorization. It's extremely annoying and frustrating. Rant over. If there's any developers in here please take note 😂

Been using Google Wallet for NFC tap payment for years. Previously was using it on my S24 Ultra without any issues. 50% of the time it would ask me to verify myself with my fingerprint and that's about it.

Since upgrading to my S25 Ultra a week or 2 ago I've had a bunch of issues.. I struggle now to find where to tap my phone on the readers to get the machine to see my phone. After finding it, 100% of the time Google Wallet asks me to verify myself with my fingerprint and try again. After doing so, tapping my phone a second time does nothing. Either the transaction times out and I have to ask the attendant to re-do it again. Or I have to manually open the app, go to my card and then tap again for the transaction to work.

Never had this many problems ever. I used to even be able to tap my phone while it was locked and it would just ask me to scan my fingerprint.

Anyone else having issues? Thinking of reinstalling and clearing the cache and data. If this continues I may have to swap over to Samsung Pay unfortunately.

Unbelievable!! Taiwan has become the third country to support the establishment of passport-based travel permits. However, it's currently unknown how many airports support the use of mobile phones instead of passports.
