Today, Google has introduced great features to Google Pay, a digital payment app for Android. This will allow users to save and view the COVID-19 vaccine and test card on their smartphones.
The company announced this new feature through an official blog post. Starting today, developers of organizations approved by health agencies, government agencies, and public health authorities will be able to use Google Pay’s Passes API to: Create a digital version of the COVID vaccine card And test information. Users must be running Android 5 or later update to view COVID-19 information as a digital card in the Google Pay app.
Unknowingly, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the population of countries such as India, making it important not only for everyone to be vaccinated, but also to show evidence of vaccination. I will. Therefore, instead of carrying a physical card with vaccines and test information, Google aims to give users digital access to COVID vaccination records via the Google Pay app.
However, please note that your digital vaccine provider will need to use the new Google Pay Passes API to allow users to store their COVID vaccine cards on their Android devices. As a result, support for the new API will allow vaccination cards to be stored locally in the Google Pay app.
In addition, the Mountain View giant states that it will not store data in the cloud in order to respect the privacy of its users. As a result, the company does not share data with third parties or use it for targeted advertising.
In addition, once the user saves the digital version of the COVID card to the device, it will be accessible via a shortcut on the home screen. It works even if the user is offline or the internet network is weak. More importantly, users do not need to install the Google Pay app to access the device’s COVID card.
When it becomes available, Google aims to release this feature in the United States first. We will continue to provide this feature to users in other countries in the future.
