Google Wallet has introduced a new feature for Android users that provides Live Updates for flight tracking. This enhancement allows users who have added their boarding passes to receive real-time notifications regarding changes such as boarding times. The update becomes active shortly before takeoff and is visible on the always-on display and lockscreen.
The new functionality displays the flight's duration with a progress bar and includes an icon of an airplane. Users can also see the estimated arrival time and the airline logo in the status bar. By tapping the notification, users are directed to their ticket page, which conveniently includes a link to Google Flights for further details.
This feature follows Google's announcement in October 2025 regarding its impending release. Additionally, it aims to enhance user experience by integrating with Gmail for check-in reminders and will also support notifications for train trips and other events.
