Google Wallet can create digital passes for almost anything now

I love storing a digital pass in my phone’s wallet enough to get a little irritated when I need to use a different app or, heaven forbid, a saved PDF. On Android, at least, there is a better way, thanks to a new Google Wallet option launching now that uses AI to generate a digital version with all relevant details that you can use like any other digital pass.

The feature, which Google announced at its I/O conference in May, it replaces a previous “Photo” option in the “Add to Wallet” menu that could create a simpler version of a pass that showed just a barcode or QR code.

Nicknamed “Everything Else,” using it can save you from digging through your email to find a PDF while you’re in line at the location or trying to navigate your doctor’s app to get a picture of your insurance card. Cards generated by Google Wallet can work for a wide variety of categories, including business cards, ID cards, library cards, loyalty cards, passports, and vehicle registration, as 9to5Google notes. However, it only works in the US at the moment.

When you choose “Everything else”, the app asks for permission to process your sensitive information using Google’s AI and organize it according to categories such as private pass, health pass or driver’s license. You can then take a photo of the pass and, once processed, adjust any details or categories that don’t look right and approve the final product.
