This has been incoming since the last ElGoog presentation. More Material You themeâimg going on and I do like the âEdit card orderâ feature (at the end of the card carousel)
Itâs an improvement over âGoogle Payâ visually. I like it.
I donât. I think itâs horrendous.
Tiles for loyalty cards too big.
No quick way to get through your cards now, having to swipe through to desired card.
And have to swipe to end of payment cards to reach the Edit Order button 
Unless Iâm missing something 
Loyalty cards are as easy to reorder, I suppose.
Everything looks a bit too big at the moment but Ill probably get used to it. It seems a bit more streamlined so should be a tiny bit easier to use (not that the other one was difficult).

Android is just so far behind Apple with the wallet. Things like boarding passes are so easy with Apple, and not so much with Android. Why arenât companies like BA adding integration to Google Wallet?
Thereâs also Apple Express Mode, so much easier to pay when travelling.

Android doesnât require auth on low value payments (like real contactless cards) so express transit mode is kind of moot.
Iâve been able to add boarding passes, Covid pass, Tesco/Co-op/Ikea/Costa/etc loyalty cards with one-tap. The new update doesnât change that speed.
Itâs more of a visual & branding change.
âPayâ = pay for things
âWalletâ = pay for things and store things

Makes no difference to anything, itâs just a name at the end of the day
