Summary

  • Google Wallet can now share a traveler’s ID and boarding pass with TSA for PreCheck Touchless ID, making it the first digital wallet to support the program.
  • 65 US airports and 100 participating airlines currently support the feature, and eligible users must first create an ID pass from passport information before enrolling through a boarding pass in Wallet.
  • Google also rolled out parcel tracking in Wallet, showing receipts, tracking numbers and shipping status on the home screen for orders tied to Gmail.
  • That shopping feature is limited to the US, supported merchants and users who enable package tracking in Gmail, underscoring Google’s push to turn Wallet into a broader travel-and-commerce hub.
