Don't want to use Google Pay? Samsung has its own digital wallet app? ›

Don't want to use Google Pay? Samsung has its own digital wallet app. Samsung Wallet is a hybrid of two existing apps: Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass. This all-in-one app allows you to pay in multiple ways and store sensitive information.

While they are both digital wallets, Samsung Pay is limited to Samsung devices, while Google Pay can be used by Android and even Apple devices and those who wear OS watches. However, you can also use Samsung Pay on smartwatches that aren't connected to a Samsung phone.

Open your phone's Settings app. Select Apps. Navigate to Samsung Wallet. Select Uninstall from the options at the bottom of the screen.

On your Android phone or tablet, go to payment methods on Google Play. Payment settings. If asked, sign in to Google Pay. Remove.

On your Android device, open the Settings app. In the search bar, type 'NFC'. Payment default. Select Google Pay.

Google Wallet allows consumers to hold a wallet balance, send and receive money from friends in the United States, and use a plastic card in stores and online. Google Pay allows users to tap and pay in stores and use/redeem loyalty cards, gift cards, and offers in store.

If Samsung Wallet keeps opening by accident, you can turn off the Quick access shortcut. Open Samsung Wallet, and then tap the Menu icon > Settings > Quick access, and then tap your desired switch to turn it off.

It uses several special security methods, like tokenization, to secure your personal and financial information. On top of this, Samsung Knox constantly monitors and protects your phone from malware and other threats. In a nutshell, Samsung Wallet is super secure.

How do I uninstall preinstalled Google Pay? ›

Follow these steps to end your Google payments service permanently, delete your info from Google Pay and close your Google payments profile. After you close your payments profile, you can't reopen it or find past transaction or payment method info.

Deleting the Google Pay app shouldn't affect your bank account itself. Your bank account information is typically linked to your Google account, and uninstalling the app won't delete that connection.

You need to change a default payment app in your device settings (steps may vary by manufacturer). Roughly way: device settings > Connection & sharing > Contactless payments > Payment default. Just deleting the Google Wallet app doesn't change a default method, as it's preinstalled in your Google Play Services data.

Samsung Pay might have a data security edge over Google Wallet. Both services have data encryption and built-in authentication. Samsung Pay benefits from an extra layer of protection with Samsung Knox.

Yes, but only supported devices can run both Google Wallet and Samsung Pay. If your device is not supported, you'll need to download the Google Wallet app and add your card to the wallet. If you have more than one registered card in your Samsung Pay wallet, you'll need to choose a default wallet.

Upgrade to a digital wallet for a faster, safer and easier everyday routine. Samsung Wallet lets you organize all your essentials into a single app — from important credentials like credit cards, ID cards, bank accounts and passwords to on-the-go items like house keys, car keys, tickets and boarding passes.

The app's discontinuation is part of a company strategy to simplify its digital payment options, by moving customers onto a more comprehensive solution — with Google Wallet storing digital items alongside payment cards and already boasting three times the user numbers of Google Pay.
