Google has been working on a “Photo” option for its Google Wallet app.
The option allows users to digitize passes by taking a photo of a QR code or barcode.
The feature has been spotted on the newly released Pixel 8 Pro.
A couple of new features are starting to roll out the Google Wallet app. One of those features will allow you to digitize passes and the other disables the payment animation that activates after using Wallet.
Back in June, Google teased it would introduce a “Photo” function to Wallet that would let users digitize and save passes by taking pictures of QR codes and barcodes. According to 9to5Google, some Pixel 8 Pro users are starting to see the option in the Add to Wallet section of the app. This would signify that Google is in the early stages of rolling the feature out, as it has yet to be seen on any other device.
