Google Wallet adds three permission levels to digital car key sharing
Google Wallet has introduced an update that enhances the digital car key sharing feature. This update includes three new permission levels: co-owner, guest, and service, making sharing more secure and versatile. Additionally, it simplifies the process of moving digital car keys between devices.
- ▪The update allows users to share digital car keys with three new roles: co-owner, guest, and service.
- ▪Co-owner has the same permissions as the original key, while guest is suitable for friends and family, and service is intended for valet and service stations.
- ▪The digital car key feature is compatible with Pixel phones from the Pixel 6 onward and select Samsung Galaxy devices.
