Google Wallet can make digital passes for nearly anything now


No more digging for concert ticket PDFs? Sign me up.

The feature, which Google announced at its I/O conference in May, takes the place of a previous “Photo” option in the “Add to Wallet” menu that could create a simpler version of a pass that just showed a barcode or QR code. Dubbed “Everything Else,” using it could save you from digging through your email to find a PDF while you’re standing in line at the venue or trying to navigate your healthcare provider’s app to get an image of your insurance card. Google has published and seems to have started rolling it out earlier this month, While our own Emma Roth has it on her Galaxy Note 20, I still don’t on my Pixel 6, but it should be available on more devices soon.
