Google Wallet app on Android now requires users to grant the location permission to get “detailed transaction receipts” with merchant name and addresses displayed on a map

August 12, 2025 //  by Finnovate

Google Wallet app on Android now requires that you grant the location permission to get “detailed receipts” with addresses and maps. A detailed receipt includes merchant (store) name and address displayed on a map, with a Call shortcut also available. Previously, this was included by default, but Google Wallet made a change in late July/early August. My transactions in the past week don’t show the map card, just the cost, day/date, statement, and transaction ID. In place of where the map usually would be, there’s a prompt: “Get detailed receipts, like merchant name and address, for future tap to pay transactions.” If you tap “Set up location settings,” Google Wallet walks you through enabling the “Precise location” permission “While using the app.” Select a card and open your most recent receipt to start the process. Enabling location just brings back the old map, with no other updates to Google Wallet receipts. After enabling, past transactions that lack location will not retroactively get the map after granting the permission. Ideally, Google Wallet would notify users ahead of time about this change, so that they can enable it before missing the map on any of their last 10 payments. Overall, asking explicitly for location permission is always nice for privacy.
