Google Wallet may finally add Aadhaar card support (Updated: Rolling out)

Source: Android Authority

TL;DR

• Google Wallet is working on supporting the Aadhaar card in India, addressing its lack of integration despite rivals like Samsung Wallet already offering this feature.
• A redesigned split FAB with “Add to wallet” and “View more” buttons may provide quicker access to document search and management features.

Update (April 28 2026, 04:28 AM ET): Google has officially announced that Google Wallet now supports Aadhaar Verifiable Credentials in India. This confirms our finding from the start of the year.

Original article (January 12 2026, 05:52 AM ET): Google Wallet has been gradually expanding its utility as a one‑stop shop for storing all your important documents, ranging from credit cards to transit cards and identity cards, as well as just about everything else. We’ve now spotted Google Wallet working on supporting the Aadhaar card in India, along with a new split‑style FAB that could tie into a previously spotted search feature.

Google Wallet in India could soon get support for Aadhaar

Google Wallet was relaunched in 2024 in India as a means of storing travel cards and identity documents. Currently, Google Wallet does not support the Aadhaar card, India’s primary government‑issued identification card, despite rival solutions like Samsung Wallet having long supported this feature. This could soon change, as we’ve spotted new mentions of Aadhaar card within Google Wallet v25.1.850929474:

Google Wallet could also get UI updates

Within the same app version, a new split‑style, centered FAB (floating action button) replaces the single FAB that currently sits on the right‑hand side.

• The existing FAB opens the Add to wallet screen, where you can add passes, IDs, and other documents.
• In the upcoming split‑style FAB, the Plus button opens the same Add to wallet screen, while the View more option currently does nothing. However, strings in the APK give clues about its intended behavior:

Explore your new Wallet
Tap **View more** to manage what's on home, search your Wallet, and see all your payment methods, passes and activity

We previously spotted Google Wallet working on a search feature; this split FAB could serve as another entry point for that functionality.

⚠️ An APK teardown helps predict future features based on work‑in‑progress code, but predicted features may not reach a public release.
