Google Wallet users need to take note: the app will soon stop supporting older Android and Wear OS devices. As technology evolves rapidly, older hardware struggles to keep up with the latest software updates. To ensure security, Google has updated its support document, stating that users must switch to a newer device or risk losing access to Google Wallet.

Here are the key points you need to know:

– Google Wallet will require Android 9 or higher on phones and Wear OS 2.x or higher on smartwatches.
– The changes will go into effect on June 10, giving users nearly a month to decide whether they need to upgrade their devices.
– Google’s decision is driven by the need to maintain security features like tap-to-pay transactions. Without security updates available for Android versions below 9, older devices are more vulnerable to potential security risks.

It’s clear that Google is looking out for its users by prioritizing security. If you’re still using an older device, now is the time to consider upgrading to continue enjoying the convenience and safety of Google Wallet. Stay informed and keep your transactions secure with a compatible device!
