How does Google Wallet’s notification feed work and can you disable it?

Google Wallet has begun rolling out an in-app notification feed, alongside improved passport recognition, as part of an update intended to make the app more competitive with Apple Wallet. The feed gathers updates about saved cards and passes in one place, which could help users manage the notifications the app sends.

The feature started rolling out in October 2026 and may not yet be available to everyone. Users can find it by tapping the bell beside their profile icon; alerts may cover boarding-pass changes, loyalty points and offers. To reduce alerts, users can adjust them under Profile picture > Wallet settings > Manage Wallet Notifications, or turn them off or deny location access through their phone’s app settings.
