US users of the Google Pay app will unfortunately have to migrate to Google Wallet instead, as Google has removed the app from circulation

Google announced today that it aims to simplify its payment app in the US The company plans to do this by removing the Google Pay app from devices According to Google, users will have until June 4, 2024 to switch to other apps

The statement was made by Joris Van Mersfg, group product manager for Google Pay In it, he lists the main benefits of migrating to Google Wallet and the complications that could arise if they do not In most cases, users can manage their Google Pay balances in the app

One of the major changes is that after June 4, users will no longer be able to send, request, or receive money on the app, which will simply be a way to check balances on the go Note that this is only for the US version of the app at this time

It has also been noted that Google Pay will no longer inform users of deals that might pique their interest The search giant recommends using alternative options like the Shop Deals feature that can be found on Google Search This is one of the biggest losses for longtime customers and may require Google to somehow integrate a store deals feature into Google Wallet

Google appears to be working on improving the general integration of Google Wallet to make it the best payment integration app on the market While this may be a big loss for many US Google customers, we are pleased that the company is working to provide a better alternative We will watch this story as it develops and will let you know if anything changes
