Google Wallet Adds Package Tracking Using Gmail Receipts in US
Google Wallet has introduced a new feature in the US that automatically tracks packages by scanning Gmail receipts for shipping information. Parcel updates appear alongside payment methods on the Wallet home screen, with detailed tracking accessible within the app. Delivered packages can be dismissed manually or removed automatically over time. This feature requires enabling Google Workspace smart features in Gmail and supports most major retailers, though compatibility with smaller stores may vary. The integration does not affect Gmail emails and builds on previous Google package tracking efforts.
