While digging into the Google Wallet app last November, we noticed code referencing a new location-based notification feature. This feature would send you information based on your precise location. Google has now officially introduced this feature as Nearby Passes notifications.
During a Google I/O session this week, the tech giant announced it is adding support for Nearby Passes notifications in Wallet. Just as it sounds, this feature aims to notify you about timely and relevant information about pertinent passes when you approach a point of interest. This pertains to passes such as loyalty cards, offers, boarding passes, or event tickets.
