Google Rolls Out Wallet v26.32 UI With Full-Screen Pass Colors

2 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Aug 18

Summary

  • Google has begun a server-side rollout of a redesigned Wallet interface that expands each pass to full-screen color and tints its on-screen controls to match.
  • Version 26.32.962917069 carries the change, but availability is uneven because the update is being enabled gradually rather than delivered solely through the app download.
  • A “Switch to previous view” option still lets users revert to the older pass layout, though the report says that fallback may disappear in later Wallet versions.
  • Only a couple of tested devices had received the redesign so far, underscoring that Google’s phased server-side releases can take time to reach all users.
