So, one thing Google loves doing is changing. They adapt their search engine algorithm all the time.But the branding they have around items has been horrendous when it comes to change. Google Talk, G+ Messenger, Hangouts, Hangouts Meet, Allo... what next?
The latest in the name game has been the change from Android Pay to Google Pay. So .. it sorta makes sense. You want to pay for something with your device (Android), but it's tied to your Google account, but they already had Google Wallet. Anyways, it's here today.
Android Pay is now officially Google Pay. (like another commenter out there, I just keep seeing Google Pay as Google Play ... confusion abounds!)
Now, if only TD would play nice and I could use it ...
