You can save your plane tickets on Google Pay now

Google is currently updating several updates of its Google Pay platform, which will allow it to get closer to Apple Pay. Many of these updates were announced earlier this year with the rebranding of the application, and now they are finally coming online.

The update includes features that many people have been using for years with different services. peer payments. Users were able to send and request money from friends and family through the Google Pay Send app, but now this service is migrating to be supported in Google Pay. Everything is very familiar now, with introductory apps like Venmo, PayPal and Zelle. But adding to Google Pay could make your friends' refund for drinks or food a little more convenient since all your money services will be in one place.

Mobile ticketing is something that Apple Pay has had for years, and Google is just now catching up. For users who go to a lot of shows or travel often, the ability to have plane tickets or concert tickets on your phone instead of printing them has become almost a necessity for modern life. This addition allows you to save your tickets at points of sale such as Ticketmaster or Southwest on your device. Google's ticketing is still quite limited for the companies that support the platform, but you can expect this number to grow steadily over time.

Earlier this year, Google combined a multitude of its own payment platforms to create the Google Pay brand. Platforms included familiar apps like Android Pay and Google Wallet. By combining them, the company has been able to make a service more convenient and unified.
