Google just fixed an annoying tap-to-pay Pixel Watch bug
Several users reported earlier this month that Express Pay wasn’t working as intended. Back in March, Google rolled out a great little quality of life improvement for Pixel Watch called Express Pay. Express Pay lets you optionally access tap-to-pay and transit options without having to first open the Google Wallet app, making it easier to use those features with one hand.
