Google has categorically stated that the Google Wallet will not affect its already popular UPI app, Google Pay. ‘Google Pay is not going anywhere. It will remain our primary payments app. Google Wallet is specifically tailored for non-payment use cases,’ said Ram Papatla, GM & India Engineering Lead, Android at Google. The wallet will be automatically linked to the Gmail account of Android users.
