Google Wallet, το «ηλεκτρονικό πορτοφόλι» της αμερικανικής εταιρείας, πρόσθεσε μία νέα λειτουργία, μέσω αναβάθμισης, που αφορά τόσο τις εκδόσεις για λειτουργικό Android όσο και για λειτουργικό iOS.
The new feature is called "Orders" and allows the owner of Google Wallet to track the orders they have placed online, while keeping archive previous online orders. All the above notifications will be received in the user's Gmail account.
In addition, Google will soon be able to offer notification of its impending delivery orders. For this reason, it works with the largest distributors in the United States, such as FedEx, UPS and USPS.
Also, the Google Wallet app will be able to "track" the user's location to promote special store deals located in its wider area. Of course, this tracking function can be disabled if the user wants it.
Η αναβάθμιση είναι διαθέσιμη μόνο για την αγορά των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών και για χρήστες με operating system Android 4.0 ή ανώτερο και για χρήστες με λειτουργικό system iOS 6.0 ή ανώτερο.
Android 4.1 and above users could track the progress of their order using Google Now, which receives information from users' email and displays the status of each online order.
With these upgrades, Google wants to gain a comparative competitive edge, such as PayPal Wallet, which, although considered to be the most popular and trusted "digital wallet" in the US, does not have a similar order tracking function. Obviously, the essential difference between the two is that Google has the important Gmail "help" that PayPal does not have.
