Major redesign: Google Wallet is finally becoming easier to navigate

As Android Authority reports, Google is giving its Wallet app a substantial redesign. The previous list view is being removed and replaced with a new grid layout. Instead of scrolling endlessly, users will now be able to see multiple cards and passes at a glance. Anyone who keeps a large number of loyalty cards, tickets or boarding passes in Wallet should benefit from this in everyday use. The detailed view for individual cards has also been revised. Colors and graphics now take center stage, while membership numbers and similar information are shown in a slightly smaller format.

Alongside the updated layout, Google is also introducing a new favorites feature. Important cards can be marked with a star and pinned directly to the home screen. Their order can then be adjusted using drag and drop. Google has also improved card and pass management. New additions include a search function and extra sorting options, making it easier to find and organize passes. That said, the implementation does not yet appear to be fully polished: according to reports, adding new favorites is still somewhat cumbersome and requires several steps.

Google has already begun rolling out the Wallet update. However, the rollout is happening gradually, which means the new version of the digital wallet is not yet available on all devices. Aside from the somewhat awkward favorites feature, early user reactions on Reddit have been mostly positive and have praised the improved overview. Many users, however, also see the update as a long-overdue step.
