Google Wallet is enhancing the travel experience with its new Live Updates feature, now available on Android 16 devices. This functionality displays real-time flight information directly on the lock screen.
Users can expect to see updates for take-off and estimated arrival times starting several hours before departure. Once onboard and connected to Wi-Fi, a progress bar will track the journey's status. This feature, which was previously teased, aims to provide convenience for travelers, especially when they are in a hurry to reach the airport.
Google Wallet already supports fetching boarding passes from Gmail and notifying users of flight timing changes. It also facilitates the storage of digital IDs and passports for TSA checkpoints in numerous US states.
