Google Wallet for Android introduces the innovative Everything Else feature, allowing you to create digital versions of various documents using artificial intelligence, making it convenient and safe to store important information.
Google Digital Wallet
New feature Everything else
The Google Wallet application for the Android operating system has been enriched with an innovative feature called Everything else. This new product, which was announced at the I/O 2024 event in May, is now being actively rolled out to a wide range of users.
Digital scanning capabilities
Everything else replaces the previous Photo feature, greatly expanding the user experience. Now you can digitize a variety of documents: from event tickets to insurance policies. Just take a photo of the document you need, and its digital copy will appear in Google Wallet.
Artificial Intelligence in Action
The key feature of the new feature is the integration of artificial intelligence. AI analyzes the document you add and automatically suggests relevant content, simplifying the process of creating a digital copy.
Security of confidential data
Particular attention is paid to the protection of personal information. Documents containing medical data or government identifiers are automatically classified as private. This means they won't sync with other devices and access to them will require additional authentication. If desired, the user can change the privacy status of the document.
Wide range of supported documents
After scanning a document, Google identifies the information and provides the ability to edit standard fields, as well as add personal data. A wide range of documents are currently supported, including:
- Business cards
- Car insurance
- Driver's licenses
- Event tickets
- Health insurance policies
- ID cards
- Library cards
- Loyalty cards
- Passports
- Residence permits
- Student cards
- Tax ID Cards
- Vehicle Registration Documents
- Voter ID Cards
- Other documents
Ease of use
After When the digitization process is completed, the document will be displayed under the credit and debit card carousel. Google also provides access to original photographs of documents when viewing their digital copies.
Global rollout
The updated version of Google Wallet with Everything else is initially launching in the United States. In the future, it is planned to expand the geography of use of this function to other countries.

Wow, this is cool! 🤩 Now you can store all the cards in one place. I often lose business cards, so this is perfect for me.
Hans
Yes, Isabella, this is very convenient. I especially liked that the AI itself determines the type of pass. I wonder how accurately it works? 🤔
Pierre
Cool stuff! But what interests me most is safety. The good thing is that confidential cards are not synced and require authentication. 🔒
Sofia
Pierre, I agree! Safety comes first. It’s also cool that you can edit the information and add your own fields. Convenient for non-standard cards. 👍
Günter
It's all nonsense. Why are these digital maps needed? Just an extra headache and the risk of hacking. Good old paper cards are more reliable and easier. 😒
Isabella
Günter, but it’s so convenient! Imagine how much space will be freed up in your wallet. And it’s harder to lose - you always have your phone with you. 📱💼
Aleksander
By the way, does anyone know when this feature will appear in other countries? I really want to try it, but I'm not from the USA. 🌍
Maria
Aleksander, there are no exact dates yet. But usually Google expands geographically quite quickly. I think it will come to us soon. I'll be looking forward to it! 😊
