Samsung Wallet supports the storage of digital IDs now.

This brings a Samsung Wallet a lot closer to the Apple Wallet app now.

But more importantly, we will check out all the Samsung Wallet features here.

Earlier this year Samsung Pay became Samsung Wallet. This rebranding broadened the scope of this app. It was more than a mobile payment and digital wallet app. You could now not only store credit/debit cards and digital currency, but login passwords, DigiLocker IDs, and health/vaccine certificates also. In today’s announcement, Samsung reveals its Wallet app now also gets the option to store digital IDs.
