Google’s Play services v26.40 release notes announce receipt scanning for Wallet on phones, improved merchant names in transaction notifications, and an in-app message center.

That last change does not mean all payment authentication is bypassed. The official notice does not specify regional coverage or rollout timing for every account.

The changes may make spending records easier to review, but immediate availability in every region and account is unconfirmed.
