Digital wallets are only growing in popularity, and the one you use depends on the phone you use. For example, if you’re a Samsung Galaxy owner, you might be familiar withSamsung Wallet. This app is the endresult of a mergerbetween Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass, and now it’s grown into something better.
Samsung Wallet, like its Google and Apple counterparts, lets you load your credit cards, loyalty cards, andeven car keys, so you don’t even need physical objects anymore. I’m still not leaving my house without my car keys, but Samsung Wallet makes it so you don’t have to, andits latest updatemakes it so you don’t have to wonder any longer about what’s loaded into your wallet and what isn’t. It’s not a game-changing update, but it’s something that will definitely come in handy for somebody who has a bunch of cards loaded into their wallet.

Samsung Wallet gets a much-appreciated update
It’s the little things
Samsung Wallet has rolled out Now Bar support, a feature first introduced in Samsung’s One UI 7. This allows you to get real-time updates on your trips, like whether your flight is on time. Now everything’s a one-stop-shop within the app, making it way easier to track things now. This functionality does come down to whether your ticket issuer provides updates in the first place, but if it does, you’re able to now view those in the app.
When you swipe down on a card following this update, you will be shown a list of everything you have loaded, and you’re free to sort them from there. It’s a nice touch that lets you organize things as you see fit, and it’s also a great way to see just what your Samsung Wallet is holding for you. Unlike your physical wallet, Samsung Wallet has much more room for cards, so you can downsize if you’d like.
Consistent updates like this have made digital wallets rapidly increase in popularity, and there’s a world that might not be so far away where everything is controlled by your phone. Depending on the state you live in, you might be able to load in your driver’s license, so we’re nearly to the point where you don’t even have to leave your house with a wallet. It’s just six states for now, but that number will continue to grow.
Although not every store accepts tap-to-pay, I’ve found that many of them do. It’s not to the point where I can ditch the wallet completely, but this eventuality is getting closer with each passing year.
