Samsung Wallet gets new features
Samsung has introduced several new travel and mobility features in the Wallet app, which merges and enhances the existing features of Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass on Galaxy smartphones, giving consumers a seamless card Tap & Pay, UPI payment and bill payment experience.
With these new features, Galaxy smartphone users can recharge and check their FASTag account, save flight boarding passes and avail solutions for train tickets like booking and saving tickets and checking train status within Samsung Wallet. Users can also add train tickets or boarding passes by scanning a QR or barcode, or importing an image or PDF into Samsung Wallet.
Users will be able to show the required identity proof and travel documents to enter airports directly from Samsung Wallet. In addition to Digital ID, users will be able to access over 2,000 other IDs/documents directly from Samsung Wallet. However, Samsung will not store this information and the details will be displayed on the device within the Samsung Wallet app.

Samsung Pass offers ‘Identity Management as a Service’, which enables secure access through biometric authentication. Users can log in to apps and services with biometric authentication.
