Google Wallet Introduces Pass Nicknames
Following the Material 3 Expressive redesign, Google Wallet has rolled out pass nicknames and other features for developers.
The Google Wallet release notes for October 14, 2025, include the user-facing feature:
Users can now add their own nicknames to passes to make them easier to organize in the Google Wallet app and website.
This feature was first mentioned in the April 2025 Play Services Release Notes and joins the existing nicknames for payment cards in Chrome, YouTube, and the Play Store.
- Select a pass and tap the three-dot overflow button in the top-right corner.
- Find “Add a nickname,” with the text field supporting up to 25 characters.
The nickname appears on the homepage on the second line of the pass after a middle dot, which should help with organization.
