With this feature, you can scan or capture a picture of virtually any physical ID or pass and convert it into a digital item for storing in the Wallet app. Everything Else started rolling out in the US in August last year and is now being made available to markets beyond the US.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Google has recently updated a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/wallet\/answer\/12060038#zippy=%2Cadd-items-from-a-photo-us-only%2Cadd-items-from-a-photo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support page<\/a>, with changes indicating that \u201cEverything Else\u201d on Google Wallet is starting to roll out to other regions. More specifically, the instructions on the page for adding an image to Google Wallet have been tweaked. The headline for the section now reads \u201cAdd items from a photo (except Australia, India, &amp; Japan),\u201d where the names of the excluded regions have been added. This hints at availability outside the US, though the reason behind the exclusion of Australia, India, and Japan has not been clarified.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_ng\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google wallet support page old\"  alt=\"Google wallet support page old\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Google-wallet-support-page-old.jpg\"\/>Old version of the support page<img class=\"e_ng\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google wallet support page\"  alt=\"google wallet support page\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google-wallet-support-page.jpg\"\/>Updated support page<img class=\"e_ng\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Wallet Tap &amp; pay shortcut\"  alt=\"Google Wallet Tap &amp; pay shortcut\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Google-Wallet-Tap-pay-shortcut.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Curiously, the feature is also rolling out in India, although the support pages have not been updated accurately to reflect this rollout. It\u2019s unclear if Australia and Japan are also getting this feature.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, for Indian users specifically, Google is adding a new \u201cTap &amp; Pay\u201d shortcut directly within the Wallet app. Notably, Google Wallet does not have regulatory approval for NFC payments in the country, although a separate Google Pay (Indian version) does. The current shortcut only takes users to Google Pay.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
