Overview
- Google Play Services v25.41 enables Wallet to show real-time status for travel and event passes using Android 16’s Live Updates.
- Updates can appear on the always-on display, lockscreen, and as a pill next to the clock with dynamic details like boarding changes and trip progress.
- On Samsung Galaxy devices with One UI 8, Wallet’s Live Updates can surface in the Now Bar, extending a capability previously tied to Samsung Wallet.
- Users can add payment cards directly from supported issuer apps without typing card details, according to Google’s changelog.
- Wallet will notify users about loyalty passes imported from Gmail, though coverage by Android version differs across reports.
