Wallet, Google’s digital portfolio, now offers a new history option to geolocate payment receipts on a card. A practical function to find traders.
Google Wallet is a very practical digital portfolio, which allows you to keep payment means, transport securities or even entry tickets in digital format. Soon, he will also be able to host other types of documents, such as an identity card, a driving license, or loyalty and subscription cards. Suffice to say that the application can quickly become an essential element of everyday life and, in the same way as a physical portfolio, contain a whole joyful bazaar – but an organized bazaar!
For the past few weeks, the Google Wallet application on Android has been asking users to grant it the precise location authorization in order to display a new payment history much more detailed directly on a card, as noted 9TO5GOOGLE. A sympathetic function that must be activated manually.
Google Wallet: detailed receipts geolocated on a map
With this new function, each receipt now displays on a card, with its amount, the name of the store, its address and a button to call it directly when a phone number is available. Previously, the application only displayed the cost, day and date, statement and transaction identifier. Note that, following an update in July, this function was activated by default. From now on, you must activate the “precise location” in the application to take advantage of this new overview. A little attention that we appreciate vis-à-vis the confidentiality of the data.
To activate it, Just touch one of his cards and open one of his last received. Normally, this one does not yet appear on the map, but displays instead an invitation to configure access to location for future transactions: “Get detailed receipts, such as the name and address of the merchant, for future contactless payment transactions. “ It is necessary to press on it and follow the steps to finalize the configuration, in particular by granting a new authorization “precise location” to the application. This precise location is collected only during contactless with the smartphone. In addition, the new view with integrated card is only displayed for the next purchases, it is not retroactive.
