Google is finally giving Android smartwatch owners a feature they\u2019ve been wanting for years: Google Wallet passes. Among its many announcements at MWC, Google<\/a> said today that it\u2019s officially bringing boarding passes, event tickets, gym memberships, loyalty cards and other passes that might be stored in your Google Wallet to Wear OS. It\u2019s one area where Wear OS has lagged way behind the Apple Watch, which has long had passes.<\/p>\n While some users have sporadically reported seeing the feature pop up over the last month or so, Google is only now confirming its arrival. Any passes you\u2019ve added to Google Wallet will show up with a QR code or barcode on your Wear OS watch with the update, and you can choose to hide whichever ones you don\u2019t need at the moment. Google is also adding the ability to get detailed public transit directions on your watch so you don\u2019t need to take out your phone to figure out where you\u2019re going. You\u2019ll be able to look up departure times from your wrist, and get step-by-step directions or a guided map view to your destination.<\/p>\n
