- Google Wallet could soon add a new “Manage passes from Gmail” option in settings.
- The option opens a page that shows Gmail-linked passes and receipts in one place.
- The new page shows all your receipts from Gmail, rather than just tap-to-pay ones.

It can store everything from boarding passes to receipts, which is handy until the app starts feeling like the digital version of a drawer full of old paper scraps. Google now appears to be working on a better way to keep the Gmail-linked passes and receipts part of that mess under control.

While poking around under the hood of the app, we managed to enable a new “Manage passes from Gmail” settings option in development. True to the label, tapping it opens a “Passes & receipts from Gmail” page where Google Wallet can show receipts and passes pulled from your Gmail inbox, all in one place.
