The history of the Google Wallet app is as follows
com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel (introduced in 2011)
Google Wallet (old) > Android Pay > Google Pay > Google Wallet
com.google.android.apps.gmoney (introduced in 2016, discontinued in 2018)
Google Wallet > Google Pay Send
com.google.android.apps.nbu.paisa.user (introduced in 2017)
Tez > Google Pay > GPay
com.google.android.apps.nbu.paisa.user is effectively three apps in one; the functionality and design in each of the three regions it's available in varies wildly. "Google Pay India" refers to what this app functions like when in India.
The online payment service was introduced with Google Checkout in 2013
Pay with Google Checkout > Pay with Google Wallet > Pay with Android Pay > Pay with Google Pay
With the new Google Wallet launch, it is no longer accurate to say that Google Pay can store passes, as Google Pay is now solely an online and in-store payment service, hence why Google Pay can exist in the GPay India app, despite them not having Google Wallet.
Pass saving service was introduced with Android Pay, before passes
had to be directly integrated into the old Google Wallet app

GPayhas never been used by Google and was cooked up by certain sources to differentiate between the two apps, so it should not be used anywhere here on Wikipedia. With that being said, we should not have separate articles for the 2018 Google Pay and the 2020 Google Pay. While they may technically be separate apps on the Play Store, none of that actually matters to the general public because they're still the same service.
Google Pay (2018) → Google Pay (2020)rather than
Google Pay (2018) → Google Wallet (2022)and
Tez → Google Pay (2020). The 2018 Google Pay app was also never supposed to continue existing after the 2020 Google Pay app was launched, until for some reason they decided to repurpose it for the new Google Wallet. InfiniteNexus ( talk) 23:48, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
com.google.android.apps.nbu.paisa.user
the app name is literally called "GPay" on the Android home screen/app drawer. You can also use this query in Google Search to find instances where they have used the term on official websites and support pages: "gpay" site:google.com
GPayis used as an abbreviation, not as the app's actual full name.
repetitiveinformation. I just strongly oppose having separate articles for the 2018 Google Pay and the 2020 Google Pay (which, again, should not be referred to as GPay). The 2018 Google Pay app was intended to be discontinued and replaced by the 2020 Google Pay app, and the two-year transition period where the two apps co-existed was not meant to be permanent. Keep things simple. It serves no benefit to readers to have an article called Google Pay (2018 app) separate from an article called Google Pay (2020 app), which will only makes things more confusing. Furthermore, the Tez (software) should stay the same, since Google has dropped all mention of that service, indicating its death is absolute. InfiniteNexus ( talk) 02:45, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
I did one thing you didn't like and reverted the whole edit :(– as I mentioned in my initial reply, you are welcome to reinstate your other edits which are uncontroversial. I had no choice but to revert your edits in bulk because of WP:EDITCONFLICT issues.
Google Pay is available in over 40 countries. GPay is available in just 3. Which do you think should represent the whole of the article?– Google is an American company. The 2020 Google Pay app is the primary (and now only) Google Pay app available in the U.S., so yes, I believe the infobox image should be using the 2020 logo. Compare this to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which is a British book and thus uses the British title and cover. It is also almost certain at this point that the 2020 app will eventually replace the 2018 app in all territories, though I acknowledge that is pure WP:SPECULATION.

For instance, I can have both Google Wallet and GPay uninstalled and yet I'll still be able to pay with Google Pay on Android. And of course, there's no Google Pay app to install on macOS or Windows or elsewhere, yet you can still pay with Google Pay on those platforms as long as a supported browser is used.
