Google Wallet may start showing live flight and travel updates on the Samsung Now Bar. This update will make tracking travel status easier than ever.

Recently, the Google Wallet app silently rolled out support for Live Update. Pixel phones running Android 16 (and Android 17 Beta) have started showcasing flight updates on the lock screen and always-on display.

Android’s Live Update is quite similar to Samsung Now Bar, so expect an imminent Google Wallet support rollout to the latter system.

A flight ticket stored in Google Wallet will trigger tracking of the flight and display status in real time. It will go beyond the existing notification system that alerts you with updates like boarding time changes.

On Pixel phones, the Status bar displays the Google Wallet logo for flight tracking. Expanding it shows the estimated arrival time and airline. On the AOD and lock screen, you see a progress bar that shows flight duration.

The alert is interactive too; when you tap the pill, the system takes you to the Google Wallet app. It’s the usual functionality of Live Update and the Now Bar system to stay linked with roots.

Samsung’s Now Bar should feature a similar appearance. When it arrives, Google Wallet will join the existing services, including Sports from Google, Google Finance, and Google Maps.

Google and Samsung closely work to tailor Galaxy experiences. Like existing ones, Google Wallet will be integrated into Now Bar, but the timeline is not known yet.
