Google Wallet Tests Grid Home Screen With Pinned Favorites

Leaked app code suggests an unannounced revamp that auto-picks favorites by default without a release date.

Overview

  • The in-development design reorganizes passes and cards into a two-column grid with more prominent, color-coded tiles.
  • A new Star control lets users pin up to four items as favorites, with the app initially auto-favoriting the first four by default.
  • "View more" on the home screen expands to show additional passes and cards beyond the pinned set.
  • A split-style floating action button appears in testing for quicker access to additional Wallet functions.
  • Reports from Android Authority, 9to5Google, and Android Central say the features are hidden and manually enabled in current builds with no confirmed rollout, as Wallet also advances context-aware surfacing and mobile purchase history.
