track parcels It also now includes TSA PreCheck Touchless ID But these features only work in the US Google Wallet is becoming a lot more than just a wallet, as two new features have just rolled out for it one of which helps you track parcels, and the other of which could speed your journeys through airports.

First up, theres now the ability to see receipts, tracking numbers, and the shipping status of parcels youre waiting for, directly from Google Wallet.
For more detailed tracking information youll still have to head to the carriers website, but a new track package button in Wallet will take you straight there. Youll see all deliveries that are due soon alongside your passes on the Google Wallet home screen, while your other orders can be seen by tapping view more. Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

That said, all of this will of course only appear if your order is linked to your Gmail account, and even then, only if its from a supported merchant. You'll also need to have package tracking enabled, which can be done from the Gmail app on your phone by heading to Menu > Settings, then tapping your account name, followed by General > Package tracking.

So its not quite a comprehensive package tracking solution, but its a good step in that direction though right now this feature is only available in
the US.

This means that rather than having to show your ID at security, you can pre-register with the TSA through Google Wallet.

If youre eligible, you can do this by first creating an ID pass in Google Wallet using your passport information, and then adding a boarding pass to Google Wallet. Youll then see a get started button on the pass that allows
you to securely share your ID and boarding pass with the TSA. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.

Once done, youll be able to use the express TSA PreCheck Touchless ID line at the airport, saving you time.

However, this currently only works at 65 US airports and with 100 participating airlines, so while its quite widespread it wont work on all flights from all US airports.
