This is great for making payments, but is also going to be extremely helpful for those that rely on Google Wallet for bus passes, plane tickets, and more. Those eligible will also be able to pull up their ID, as Wallet has recently begun supporting digital IDs, although for the time being, it seems to be pretty pointless.

Over time, Google Wallet has become more than a one-stop shop for all your payment needs. More recently, it has become more versatile, giving users a bit more freedom, with the ability to create digital passes as needed for items that weren't formally supported.

Google Wallet has come a long way since its inception, giving users the ability to quickly access some of the most important tools that they use every day. And if you have yet to use it, we recommend giving it a try. Taking things digital can sometimes be a little stressful, but often, it can make life easier when you're on the go.
