Google Wallet may finally add Aadhaar card support (Updated: Rolling out)
Google Wallet is adding support for India's Aadhaar card as a verifiable credential, closing a gap with competitors like Samsung Wallet. The feature was confirmed by Google in April 2026, following earlier signs in an app teardown. A redesigned split floating action button is also in development, potentially improving navigation and access to wallet management tools. These updates aim to enhance Google Wallet’s utility as a digital repository for IDs and documents in India.
- ▪Google Wallet now supports Aadhaar Verifiable Credentials in India, as officially announced in April 2026.
- ▪The Aadhaar integration was first spotted in a teardown of Google Wallet version 25.1.850929474.
- ▪Samsung Wallet has long supported Aadhaar cards, giving it an edge in the Indian market.
- ▪A new split-style floating action button is being tested, with 'Add to wallet' and 'View more' options for improved navigation.
- ▪The 'View more' button may provide access to a search function and centralized wallet management, though it is not yet fully active.
