Google Wallet is getting a transaction history update that improves the core payments experience.
At the moment, Google Wallet for Android shows your 10 most recent tap-to-pay and Google Pay transactions from that phone. Select a card from the carousel and tap “View more activity.”
This list does not even include transactions from your paired Wear OS device.
That looks to be changing in the future, with the Google Play services v26.01 release notes yesterday mentioning that “you can now view transactions from other devices and online purchases that use virtual card numbers.”
App vs. web
Google already offers this full Transactions history on wallet.google.com, as well as search. This is hopefully a straightforward port from web to mobile app.
Meanwhile, version 25.1.x of Google Wallet includes strings preparing that aforementioned search functionality.
Making the Google Wallet app a bit more full-featured might obviate the need for users to open their bank’s mobile app.
This feature will be available on Phone and Wear OS. As always, items that appear in this changelog might take months before they actually roll out (see: Live Updates).
