Last week, Samsung officially launched the Samsung Wallet app which is a combination of two old applications – Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass. The application is able to store your cards, IDs, digital keys, tickets, and others. If you want to give it a try, it is now available to download on Galaxy Store.
At the time of launch, Samsung said that the Samsung Wallet is available in six countries including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, and the US. Thus, if you are the one who lives in these countries, you can simply search for the application on Galaxy Store and download it.
Alternatively, you can open the Samsung Pay or Samsung Pass apps on your phones and then follow the on-screen instructions to update and migrate to the new wallet app.
Do note that this app requires Samsung Pay-enabled Galaxy phones running Android 9 Pie or later. Some elements require an eSE-enabled device. For the full list of compatible devices, visit the official Samsung website.
Is Samsung Wallet safe to use?
Samsung claims that Samsung Wallet is safe to use and is protected by defense-grade security from Samsung Knox. The app also uses the Open Galaxy ecosystem by integrating with the Samsung Blockchain Wallet to help users easily monitor cryptocurrencies and SmartThings to unlock doors with a digital key.
