Google is working on a novelty in the Chrome app for Android devices: A feature to easily add boarding passes to Google Wallet on Android. The feature is currently experimental and hidden within the Chrome Canary app.
This new Chrome Canary feature detects boarding pass information in open tabs. It scans airline URLs and checks for boarding pass data such as QR codes and barcodes. When boarding pass information is detected, the Boarding Pass Detector flag prompts the user to add the card to their Google Wallet.
The Boarding Pass Detector flag is currently inactive and only available in the Android version of Chrome Canary (version 121.0.6145.0). This is an indication that Google is exploring ways to improve boarding pass management within Google Wallet. The feature could be especially useful for frequent travelers who receive boarding passes electronically.
Chrome Canary is an unstable and experimental version of the Chrome browser for Android devices. It is designed for developers and early adopters, giving them an opportunity to try out the latest features and bug fixes before the stable Chrome release. Chrome Canary is updated several times a week and may contain bugs that may cause the browser to crash or behave unexpectedly. It is not recommended for daily use.
While an exact timeline for when Boarding Pass Detector will be released is unclear, the presence of this flag suggests that Google is actively developing the feature and may introduce it in a future Chrome for Android update.
