Following the homepage revamp with search in May, Google Wallet is now rolling out a redesign of passes on Android.
Instead of a small rectangular card against the Dynamic Color background, passes in Google Wallet now take up the entire screen. This includes theming the entire background of the page with the brand’s primary color.
Scrolling down lets you access key actions like calling associated phone numbers and visiting the official website. Under “Settings,” you can edit the nickname and control how it’s used. These preferences were previously accessed from the three-dot overflow menu.
Curiously, this redesign allows you to access the old look in its entirety by tapping the rewind icon in the top-right corner.
This redesign applies to all loyalty cards and boarding passes, including manually created ones. Transit cards still use the old design.
Visually, it’s absolutely a nicer experience, though some backgrounds can be quite bright, especially if you’re using passes at night.
As of today, we’re seeing this redesign widely rolled out.
