Google are now launching a major part of Android Pay and that’s the ability to make in-app purchases with it.
Android Pay launched this autumn and has made the lives of our cousins across the pond easier. Now Android Pay can be used within apps to desperately buy those extra lives on Candy Crush (if you’re still playing Candy Crush you might have a problem).
Developers have signed up to Android Pay including the likes of; Lyft, OpenTable, and Hotel Tonight. Some of the aforementioned developers are offering deals to encourage users to take advantage of the new feature.
In the announcement Google says “in the first half of 2016, Android Pay will arrive in Australia.” Why Australia got a special mention we don’t know but this does signify that we won’t be seeing Android Pay in Britain for a while. Even Canada is getting ignored as expressed by one disgruntled fan in the comments section: “#GoogleHatesCanada …that is all.”
