Google Wallet has finally launched in India to meet the daily requirements of Indian users. Surely many of you are wondering, if there is a Google Pay application, why do we need a separate wallet? Well, Google says Wallet is a completely different app from Google Pay. The app will act like a digital wallet for users where they can store several digital documents like boarding passes, loyalty cards, movie tickets, etc., while Google Pay is limited to the user’s digital payment requests. Therefore, Google Wallet will not affect the Google Pay app in any way. Know more about the new Google Wallet app and how it works.
