A Game-Changer for Pixel Users!

Attention, Pixel phone enthusiasts! Get ready for an exciting upgrade as your devices are set to receive a sleek new card carousel overlay for Google Wallet. This enhancement can be activated with a simple double-tap of the power button!

Seamless Access to Payments!

With the introduction of Android 16, users can now customize their 5 double-press power button gesture. Forget fumbling with apps; you can now swiftly dive into Google Wallet directly instead of launching the camera. Currently, it opens the full Wallet app, but a thrilling new update is on the horizon.

Introducing the New Overlay!

Some lucky Pixel 9 Pro Fold users have already spotted the innovative overlay! This feature showcases a stunning blurred background along with an engaging "Hold to reader" NFC animation, topped off with a carousel of your cards. Plus, there’s a convenient 'Open Wallet' shortcut at the bottom.

Effortless Transactions!

This new feature is a game-changer for those who prefer more control over their payments. With the card carousel, you can easily switch cards without interrupting your current task—making transactions smoother than ever!

Rolling Out Now!

While we haven't spotted this overlay on all Pixel devices just yet, it’s gradually being rolled out with Google Wallet and Play Services version 25.31 (beta). So keep an eye out; your device might be next!

A Nod to the Past!

This new overlay is reminiscent of the Android 12 interface, which combined power menus, cards, passes, and smart home controls. Google is continuing to refine and enhance user experience with each update.

Stay Tuned for More!

With these advancements, Google Wallet is embracing innovation to make your payment experience faster and more efficient. Stay tuned for further updates that will continue to improve how you manage your finances on the go!
