Google Wallet may soon let you assign nicknames to transit passes.
While some signs of this functionality are present in the latest Google Play Services beta, others are not yet functional.
Not all transit passes may ultimately be supported.
Smartphones are tiny computers, so itβs little wonder that they like working with information thatβs nicely and neatly organized, all expressed formally. Problem is, weβre the ones who have to use them, and we are far from 100% logical, formal creatures. How often does that manifest in us turning to nicknames for labels β that guy whoβs not in your contacts as βBrian James Miller,β but βWork Brian?β For people who get a lot of mileage out of this kind of shorthand, weβve got some good news for you, as we check out the latest development work on Google Wallet.
An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.
Technically, weβre not quite looking at Wallet itself right now, as we investigate version 24.31.33 beta of Google Play Services. That software does the heavy lifting for a lot of Google apps behind the scenes, and thatβs very much the case with Wallet. Right now, Wallet already lets you assign nicknames to your payment cards β and if youβre juggling more than a few, thatβs an easy way to keep track of which you want to be using, when.
But Wallet supports storing a whole lot more than just payment cards, and now it looks like the app is working to extend nickname support to some of that other content, as well. By enabling a software flag, weβre able to interact with a nickname field in Wallet for transit passes. The feature either isnβt fully implemented, or we were unable to trigger the right conditions for the rest of it to work, because the nickname you enter doesnβt yet display in the appβs main view. But just finding the ability to enter a nickname suggests this could be a work in progress, that we might hope to see in a more complete stage of operation soon.Weβre also not sure if every pass you can add to Wallet will support the ability to use a nickname. At least, even with our testing flag set, we were able to assign a nickname for some transit docs, but not others. Right now, itβs probably far too early to say if that might be intentional, or more a consequence of a half-implemented software feature. Weβll have to keep poking away at this one and see if itβs working any better in future releases.
