Thanks to the “Quick Access” on Android with Google Pay, users will be able to open a digital wallet much more conveniently and effortlessly than before. This will be done in addition to the latest update that brought about a strengthening of the security system by introducing more authentication processes.
Today, Google Pay transactions are launched via a standalone Google Wallet application that pops up at the bottom of the screen, an inch above the home key which coincides with the gesture system navigation buttons. The newly introduced approach is different from the previous standard response, in the case of which a card and the Google Pay logo would mainly be in a Tap-to-pay interface.
Its actual relatability stems from the fact that it quickly accesses the history of transactions and the details of the same. As such, in the same way that Apple Pay does when you double-click, it displays a default payment method as well as other saved cards for easy access and switching, its primary purpose.
Both Google Wallet and Apple Pay do provide respective system-wide hardware shortcuts for their Wallet apps, the only difference is in the way the shortcut is displayed on the lock screen: the Fast Lock or Quick Setting Tile. In the last version, Google Wallet added ‘Cards & Passes’ to the Android power menu last, so that the users could access Cards & Passes in the power menu on Android 11.
