Google Wallet gets notification inbox
Google Wallet rolled out an update beginning in October 2026 that added an in-application notification inbox alongside increased passport recognition. The update aims to help Google Wallet outdo Apple Wallet.

If you have the new feature, a bell icon appears next to your profile icon in the top-right of the Google Wallet app.
What notifications appear in the feed
The notification feed aggregates updates about saved cards and passes in one place. This includes changes to traveling information like gate changes on boarding passes, loyalty and gift card updates, and incoming offers.
