Google Pay is a widespread payment platform, and most Android users use it to pay for apps. When you’re about to make a purchase, you’ll see a list of your saved cards in the app. However, according to 9To5google, Google Pay will name your cards when using autofill.
When you’re about to make a purchase, you’ll see your saved cards pop up to pay. When you see the saved cards, it will show you the last four digits of the cards, the card issuer, and the expiration date. That’s useful information, but people who have multiple cards saved might have trouble keeping track of them.
Google Pay will name your cards when using the autofill feature
This update is rolling out now, so you should it soon if you don’t already. In Chrome, when you use the Google Pay autofill feature, you’ll see your cards as usual. However, the app will show the name of each actual card along with the other information.
Each card has a specific name; it would be something like “Platinum card” or “Rewards card”. When you see the list of saved cards, those names would pop up instead of the other information. This could make it easier to identify your cards.
If you only have one or two cards, then it wouldn’t be much of a problem, but people tend to accumulate cards. Once you get a handful of cards, it could be hard to tell what they are based on their last four digits.
In the screenshot, we see that the cards are housed in rounded rectangles in the classic Material You style. Below the cards, you’ll see the option to scan in a new card and manage your payment methods.
Right now, we see that this is coming to the Chrome browser, but we expect it to make its way to more Google products as time goes on.
