Google recently launched Google Wallet in India. Before India, it was available globally. It has been launched in India only after the success of Google Wallet in other countries. More than 5 lakh downloads are being seen on Google Play Store. Since the launch of Google Wallet, users are in a dilemma whether this is the beginning of the closure of Google Pay. Let's try to understand how Google Pay and Google Wallet are different from each other.
What is the difference between Google Pay and Google Wallet?
The Indian version of Google Wallet is quite different from the global version. In the Indian version, bank cards cannot be added and payments cannot be made, while in the global version, payments can be made and bank cards can also be added. Google Wallet is made available only for Android users while Google Pay is available for everyone.
To use Google Wallet, you need to log in with your Google Account. After this, your flight booking tickets, movie tickets, vouchers etc. will start appearing in it. The most special thing about Google Wallet is that it will give real time updates about the flight and will also give reminder in case of delay.
There are several rewards programs as well, including Google Wallet. Google Wallet has not partnered with Indian Railways, so railway tickets will not be stored in it at present. Google Wallet has the facility to scan barcodes and QR codes. BMW car owners can save their digital car keys in it.
Talking about Google Pay, it is completely a payment app. With this you can make any kind of payment. UPI payment can be done by linking the bank account to Google Pay app but there is no such facility in Google Wallet. You can also make payments by adding a credit card to Google Pay. So overall, Google Pay is a digital payment app and Google Wallet is a digital wallet.
