Google Wallet will soon offer location-based notifications for passes
Google Wallet is preparing to introduce a new feature that will send notifications based on your location. The app will soon alert you about event tickets, flight updates, and other passes when you’re close to the relevant place.
Currently, Google Wallet sends alerts for things like flights, events, and passes, but these notifications aren’t based on where you are. However, a recent teardown of the app’s version 24.44.695355101 update (spotted by Android Authority) reveals that Google Wallet will soon send notifications for tickets and passes based on your nearby places or location.
With the upcoming “Nearby notifications” feature, Google Wallet will start sending you reminders when you’re close to the location related to your pass.
For example, if you have concert tickets stored in your Wallet and you’re near the venue, you’ll get a notification to remind you about your tickets. This will make it easier to stay on top of your passes without having to check the app manually.
In addition to this, you’ll also be able to customize these notifications. You can choose whether or not to receive location-based alerts for each pass. For example, you can turn off notifications for parking passes if you don’t want to be reminded about them when you’re near a parking lot.
While the feature isn’t available yet, it’s expected to be included in a future update to Google Wallet. Once it rolls out, it will make managing your tickets and passes much more convenient. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung has rolled out a fresh update for its Photo Editor app, which brings new features to enhance the user experience. This fresh update makes editing photos and creating custom stickers more intuitive and versatile than ever before.

In addition, the update introduces a new manual area selection tool for creating custom stickers. This feature is available in the app’s “Labs” section and lets you manually choose specific areas of an image.
You can now choose out specific part of a photo and turn it into a sticker. This gives you more control over how you select a part of an image to make it easier to create personalized designs or stickers for your photos.
This fresh update of the Samsung Editor improves the app by adding more creative options. Whether you want to save your sketch results or create unique stickers from your photos, these new tools make the app more flexible and user-friendly.
Samsung is continuously improving its apps to give users more ways for personalization. So, if you’re using a Galaxy device, install the update now to enjoy new features.
