(In the new example below, you can make out the apps in the dock.) The \u201cOpen Wallet\u201d button at the bottom is placed in a pill for a large touch target.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The card jumps up before resting back down in line with the new success animation that is quite elaborate. The NFC waves briefly appear before being replaced by a scalloped Material 3 shape. There\u2019s a white loading indicator within the blue container that becomes the checkmark. A blue wave emanating from the check completes things.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Old<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\"  alt=\"\" data-height=\"2856\" data-id=\"684265\" data-link=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/?attachment_id=684265\" data-url=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Google-Wallet-pay-old-1.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=459\" data-width=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Google-Wallet-pay-old-1.jpg\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\"  alt=\"\" data-height=\"2856\" data-id=\"684266\" data-link=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/?attachment_id=684266\" data-url=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Google-Wallet-pay-old-2.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=459\" data-width=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Google-Wallet-pay-old-2.jpg\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The seasonal success animations presumably still exist and have been updated to fit the new design.<\/p>\n<p>This animation redesign is not yet widely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GoogleWallet\/comments\/1mpnepb\/new_google_pay_animation\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rolled out<\/a>, with the M3 Expressive revamp of the Google Wallet homepage still seeing limited availability.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Pixel users that launch Wallet by double-tapping the power button are <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/08\/13\/google-wallet-overlay-pixel\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">getting a new overlay<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>More on Google Wallet:<\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alongside the app, Google Wallet\u2019s NFC tap-to-pay animation is getting a M3 Expressive redesign.
