Google Wallet tests a new floating bar design with a Home button and bubbly animation

Google Wallet is testing an updated floating bottom bar in version 26.45.1018 of the app. The upcoming layout adds a dedicated Home button alongside the search and pass options, letting users switch between tabs seamlessly without navigating back individually. Along with the layout changes, the update introduces a new bubbly transition animation when switching between tabs. Because these features were discovered in work-in-progress code by manually enabling them, it remains unclear when the redesign will officially roll out to the public. In separate updates for Google Wallet, users in Austria are now able to add their passports to the app. This follows similar recent rollouts in Italy and Ireland, expanding digital document support to more regions globally.
