Google Wallet: It seems that Google has quietly launched Google Wallet app in India to compete with Apple Wallet app. The app has disappeared from the Play Store, it appears to be a limited rollout. This is because not all users can currently find and download the app on their Android smartphones. Google Wallet is available, but cannot be found on the Play Store. Many users on the internet have reported being able to download and install the Google Wallet app on their smartphones on the microblogging platform.
What cannot be denied is that the app is available to some users in India, which is what the step-by-step rollout setup looks like currently. TOI Tech also looked into this and found that the app cannot be found directly on the Play Store, he said. However, for some users, it can be installed by searching for the app on Google and getting redirected to the Play Store.
Also, in most of the cases, the app has shown an error message. “This app is not currently available in your region”. Google has not officially confirmed the launch of the Wallet app. It's also important to note that this could be a limited test for the Google Wallet app, or, it could be a silent gradual release. At present, there is no official information available regarding the launch of Google Wallet app in India. Also, Google has not confirmed any ongoing testing for the app in the country.
Alternatively, you can search for Google Wallet app on Google and tap the Play Store search result to redirect it to the Play Store app. Again, if you see the Install button, you can install the app on your device.
