Google Wallet is a handy app that lets you keep your bank cards, IDs, tickets, badges, and more all in one place. While the app on Android phones has supported all of these and more for a while, Google is now expanding the app's capabilities on smartwatches so you can carry everything right on your wrist.
Just like on your phone, Google Wallet will let you store things like hotel keys, campus IDs, and work badges on your Wear OS smartwatch. Wear OS is the operating system on most of the best smartwatches, such as the Galaxy Watch from Samsung, Google's own Pixel Watch and more.
This update comes a year after Wear OS added support for passes with QR codes and barcodes. Before that, the Wallet app on your smartwatch was mostly limited to credit and debit cards, along with a few transit options.
