TL;DR
- For all its great features, Google Wallet is missing a key tool that Apple just added to its own Wallet app.
- Apple seems to be testing a new feature called Insights for its Wallet app.
- Though it’s not yet functional, Insights could eventually connect to financial accounts and display spending insights, recurring transactions, account balances, and other financial information directly in Wallet.
Google Wallet is constantly improving its feature set to become an ultimate destination for storing payment cards, loyalty passes, event tickets, digital credentials, and more. Its recent redesign, upcoming travel features, and contextual loyalty features are proof that Google is serious about making Wallet more useful. Yet, for a Wallet app that does so much, the app is missing one crucial feature, something that Apple is now bringing to its own wallet app.
