How does Google Wallet's notification feed work and can you disable it?
Google Wallet is attempting to make notifications easier to find with a notification feed, but if you're sick of alerts, find out how to disable them.
Google Wallet has recently rolled out an update, adding a notification inbox and enhanced passport recognition to its digital wallet app. This update aims to surpass Apple Wallet's features. Users can access their notifications via a bell icon next to the profile icon in the app's top-right corner. This notification feed aggregates updates about saved cards, loyalty points, gift cards, and offers.
However, users may be overwhelmed by the volume of notifications. To manage this, users can disable notifications entirely or adjust settings to limit location-based notifications. This can be done by tapping the profile picture, going to Wallet settings, selecting Manage Wallet Notifications, and customizing preferences. Alternatively, users can navigate to Settings, then Apps, Google Wallet, and either turn off all notifications or prevent the app from accessing their location data.
