  • Google has quietly updated its support page to note new Google Wallet requirements.
  • The payment app now requires Android 9 Pie or later, and Wear OS 2.x or later.
  • This means you might want to upgrade your phone or watch if it’s very old.

Google Wallet is the company’s first-party payment solution on Android phones and watches, allowing you to quickly make payments via NFC and store passes/tickets. Unfortunately, it looks like Google is phasing out support for super-old phones and watches.

9to5Google spotted an official support page that reveals Google Wallet will require Android 9 Pie or higher on Android. Furthermore, Wallet on smartwatches will require Wear OS 2.x or later. This new requirement goes into effect from June 10, 2024.
