Google has informed US users of the older Google Pay app on Android, iOS and the Internet that they will have to go to the new app to continue. The original version loses the feature on April 5, as well as access to recent activities and transactions. Google has released the new, revamped app.
The change will only affect users in the US for now, as Google has not yet launched the latest app to other regions. People elsewhere can use the original app for the time being as usual.
It appears that users of the old app will still have access to their digital wallet, including payment cards. As 9to5 Google comments, the version may still come in handy in some situations. You can only use the new Google Pay app on one device at a time.
If you still have money in your Google Pay account after April 5th, you will only be able to access it via the new app (which is still in early access). Otherwise, Google’s support team can manually transfer the money to your bank account.
Google will also update the Terms of Service for U.S. users on April 5th. This raises the minimum age for a Google Pay account from 16 to 18.
