Android and iPhone users may jealously protect their phone platform of choice, but secretly, both camps know there are some features the other phones have that theirs do not. Google is now, it seems, addressing one place it underperforms, by improving Google Wallet so it can be better at something the iPhone does brilliantly: digital tickets and boarding passes.
With Google offering the same compatibility, Android users should be able to click on the same Apple Wallet link and add the pass to their Android phone. Secondly, and much more funkily, the app now offers a new section. Tap on the tab at the bottom right of the screen, marked Fix & Manage, and you’ll be taken to a page of ways to adjust things. There are useful items like Merge and fix, which means you no longer need to have seven different cards for one person, in the way things get a little out of hand as time goes on, instead putting them all in one place.
March 21 update. And there’s more: the Google Play Store app is also being updated. I’m not sure how successful it is, but here we go. The first change is to the Search bar which until now has sat at the top of the screen, with a magnifying glass and a text bar marked Search Apps & Games. In the new design, the row of tabs at the bottom of the screen has been increased from three to five.
So, I thought, this must be what’s happening here, with reachability improving hugely thanks to this new placement. I was wrong. Tap on the Search tab and—guess what?—the search bar you need to use reappears at the top of the display. This makes little sense to me.
