Google Wallet Adds Package Tracking Feature in US Test

In the quiet background of daily digital life, Google is testing a feature that brings the small anxiety of waiting for a package into the same space where we manage our money. By scanning Gmail for receipts and tracking numbers, Google Wallet now attempts to surface delivery information alongside payment cards — a modest but telling gesture toward the idea that a wallet, digital or otherwise, holds more than just currency. It is also a revival of something Google tried before, suggesting the company believes the right moment and the right container can make an old idea feel new again.
