The reason this tile is needed is because some OEMs removed the AOSP Wallet Quick Settings tile as well as the Quick Access Wallet feature. And since Google Wallet itself didn’t provide its own QS tile until now, you’d need to manually open the app or add a lock screen shortcut (if possible).
With the dedicated Google Wallet tile, though, you can open Wallet from any page. You’ll need to authenticate to open it from the lock screen, though.
This tile has rolled out to at least one user, but I don’t see it yet on my devices. According to the “what’s new in Google System Updates” page, you’ll need Google Play Services v24.33 or later for this feature, though it seems to be rolling out as part of a server-side update.
Thanks to Petro on Discord for the tip!
