The Google Wallet app, which should replace Google Pay in many countries, has begun to appear on users’ smartphones. According to Google spokesperson Chaiti Sen, the company “has started rolling out Wallet to Android users in 39 countries,” and it will be available “to all users over the next few days.” Including it is planned to be launched in Ukraine.
Google announced Wallet at the recent I/O 2022 event. Google Wallet is positioned as an application for managing all users’ digital cards – not only payment cards, but also ID cards, vaccination status data, tickets, access keys, etc.
Wallet will replace the current Google Pay app in most countries. However, Google has said that users in the US and Singapore will use both Google Pay and Wallet at the same time. In these countries, Pay will be used as a way to send money to friends.

Google has had several different iterations of Wallet. In 2011, it was an NFC payment app. Over time, other payment functions were added to it. In 2018, Google merged it with Android Pay, resulting in the current Google Pay app. Now – at least in most countries – this application is starting to turn into a Wallet again.
