Google is infamous for its confused ecosystem strategy, and the Google Wallet and Google Pay apps are prime examples of said confusion. At an event in India today, Google launched the Google Wallet app for the country, but it will coexist alongside the Google Pay app.
Google has officially launched Google Wallet in India. The Wallet app will allow users to store boarding passes, gift cards, loyalty cards, event cards, car keys, access cards, and even provide transit OTAs. On some Android devices, users will be able to add Google Wallet as a lockscreen shortcut, allowing for quick and easy access.
