Google Wallet rolling out support for Apple Wallet Pass. But there's catch.

Supun Premathilake Jr.

7 Apr, 2024

Passes from Apple Wallet can now be imported into Google Wallet, albeit not all passes support this feature. Here are some things to be aware of.

Some users were able to import ".pkpass" files into Google Wallet in March. As for now, the most recent Play Services and Wallet upgrades have made that capability broadly accessible.

Mmmm.. wait! what? “.pkpass” file? What it is?

To put it briefly, Apple Wallet uses that file format for passes. The file has all the information required for a pass, and Google Wallet can now read and import those files correctly. This indicates that the "Add to Apple Wallet" button on a website or in an email receipt may occasionally function with Google Wallet. Cool, right?

Nevertheless, our study suggests that this isn't work everywhere.

Furthermore, the "Add to Apple Wallet" button frequently shows up in applications but not in Android apps. As a result, the ".pkpass" file required to import that pass into Google Wallet will never be shown to Android customers by many providers.

The ".pkpass" file is used by the Apple Wallet app to enable users to exchange passes with other applications and messaging services. Therefore, if you have access to an iPhone, any passes you have in Apple Wallet may be transferred to Google Wallet. Undoubtedly a practical solution, but one that is undoubtedly somewhat laborious.

Theoretically, businesses issuing these passes should find it much simpler to make them available to Android users thanks to Google Wallet's support for ".pkpass" files. Although it could take some time, there are already advantages since this assistance is now readily accessible.
