GPay App and P2P Payments Will Stop Working in the US This June

An anonymous reader shares a report: When Google Wallet launched in 2022, Google kept the 'GPay' app around in a handful of countries. The company announced today that the old Google Pay app is soon going away in the US. That app, which appears as 'GPay' on your Android homescreen, was Google's previous vision for mobile payments and finance.

It was 'designed around your relationships with people and businesses' with conversation-like threads serving as a purchase history, while keeping track of your spending was another big aspect. GPay will stop working in the US from June 4, 2024. It will remain available for users in India and Singapore as Google continues to 'build for the unique needs in those countries.'
