Google Wallet Adds US Package Tracking via Gmail Scanning

2 articles · Updated · GSMArena.com · Jun 28

Summary

  • Google Wallet can now surface package tracking on its home screen by scanning Gmail for digital receipts and tracking numbers tied to incoming deliveries.
  • The feature pulls shipment details into Wallet without altering the original Gmail messages, and users can open fuller tracking information or dismiss a package after it arrives.
  • US availability is the main limit for now, and Google says support covers most major retailers rather than every merchant or email format.
  • Gmail users must also enable "Google Workspace smart features" in settings, reviving a package-tracking idea Google previously offered through the now-retired Google Now.
