Google Wallet is set to introduce new per-pass privacy settings that grant users more control over how sensitive passes interact with Google services like Autofill. This feature was announced as part of the latest update to Google Play services in April.
The update allows users to manage Autofill settings for specific private passes, such as driver’s licenses and passports. Google stated, “You can now control how private passes in Wallet work with other Google services like Autofill through new per-pass privacy settings.”
Related code strings were identified in the latest beta version of Play Services, indicating that users may choose on a case-by-case basis whether Autofill can access their passport while blocking access to their driver’s license. A gradual rollout of this feature is expected as Play Services updates become available to more users.
In addition to the privacy settings, the changelog highlights a redesigned Wallet interface, which aims to improve access to passes and enhance search functionality. Some users have already begun to see the updated UI on their devices, as the rollout has started in recent days.
