Google Wallet has finally debuted in India to cater to the everyday requirements of Indian users. Many of you must be thinking, if there is a Google Pay app then why do we need a separate wallet?
Well, Google says the Wallet is entirely a different app than Google Pay. The app will act like a digital wallet for the users where they can store several digital documents such as boarding passes, loyalty cards, movie tickets, and much more, whereas Google Pay is restricted to users' digital payment requirements.
Therefore, the Google Wallet will not affect the Google Pay app in any way. Know more about the new Google Wallet app and how it works.Today, Ram Papatla, GM and India Engineering Lead, Android at Google announced the launch of Google Wallet in India.
