Easy navigation is a big part of the app experience and, sometimes, less is more. Google has its payment platform called GPay, and we knew that the app was getting a redesign for a while. Now, the company is finally pushing this redesign, and it shows that the app has slimmed down, according to 9To5Google.
If you don’t know what GPay is, it’s a simple app you can use to make and manage your payments. You can use it to make contactless payments, track your spending, send and receive money, and more. It’s different from Google Wallet which allows you to add a plethora of different cards like gift cards, loyalty cards, and even IDs and passports eventually. GPay is mostly a payment platform.
The GPay redesign is finally rolling out to the public
We knew that Google was planning on redesigning the GPay app We got the news of this change back in February. However, it’s been in testing ever since then with only a few people able to see the change.
Now, it’s rolling out to more people. The GPay app redesign will slim the app down and make the interface even simpler. Before, the app’s bottom bar had three tabs: Explore, Pay, and Insights. Well, the Explore tab is going away. Instead, you’ll see a card in the Pay tab called Top Deals For You. This takes the place of the Explore tab.
When you tap on the card, it will open up a page with a list of different deals for you. GPay bases the list on your spending habits. If you eat at a lot of pizza joints, then you’ll see a lot of deals at local pizza places. Each item on the list will have several chips in them showing you what category they fall under.
This isn’t a major change, but it does make the app a little more streamlined. The update is rolling out to the public starting today, so you might see it soon. Make sure that your app is updated.
