Google Wallet Rolls Out Vertically Stacked Card List on Android

Overview

• The stacked card layout is being deployed as a server-side experiment and is appearing on multiple devices and regions rather than as a formal, wide release.
• The new view shows one full card with a sliver of the next card at the top and lets users tap or swipe down to expand a card to a fullscreen view.
• Tap-to-pay and normal card selection remain unchanged so users can still pay from a chosen card after expanding or selecting it.
• A settings gear in the top-right now opens card details and transaction history, which adds an extra step compared with the old interface.
• The change follows earlier Wallet updates this year and mirrors vertical card concepts used by other wallet apps, which could make reaching frequently used cards easier but may be adjusted based on user feedback.
