Summary
Google Wallet’s latest update adds four features, led by receipt scanning that lets users add purchase records without manual entry.
Play Services version 26.40 also enables seamless payments by skipping the payment request screen when merchants already have a user’s name, email and phone number.
Google further tweaked Wallet notifications to show merchant names more clearly and added an in-app message center for alerts, updates and possibly promotions.
The update is rolling out incrementally to Android users, extending Wallet’s push to make purchase tracking and checkout faster across Chrome and other supported services.
