Sorry, aber gerade ist bei uns wirklich gar nix zu holen. Unser Server ist im Wartungsmodus – und unser kleiner Bot versucht gerade, mit letzter Energie die Fehlermeldungen zu sortieren.
Ob’s ein Daten-Leck, ein Stromausfall im Cluster oder einfach nur ein mies gelauntes Bit war – wir wissen es noch nicht. Was wir aber wissen:
Das Daten-Drama eskalierte zu einer Server-Schmelze. Aber keine Sorge: Wir sind dran.
Was jetzt?
Bei unseren Kolleg:innen von inside digital läuft bestimmt alles rund – schau doch mal vorbei!
Oder du vertreibst dir die Zeit mit einem Besuch auf unseren Social-Media-Kanälen – zum Beispiel Instagram, YouTube oder TikTok. Da gibt’s immerhin keine Serverprobleme – versprochen.
Danke für deine Geduld. Unser Bot rebootet schon mit Hochdruck. 🔧
NewsGoogle Wallet Just Got Family-Friendly—Kids Can Now Use Tap-to-Pay
Last year, Google launched the Fitbit Ace LTE, which later gained a Tap to Pay feature linked to a parent’s Google Wallet account. Now, Google is expanding its payment ecosystem by introducing a standalone Google Wallet app for kids, allowing them to create an account and use features like Tap to Pay.
Parents Still Have Full Control Over Their Child’s Google Wallet
The new Google Wallet access for kids will be set up through the child’s Android device but will require parental permission and oversight. Parents can monitor their child’s transactions via Google’s Family Link, receiving email notifications for each purchase.
During setup, parents will need to log in to their account to authenticate and enter the payment card details that their child can use. Additionally, they have full control to remove access to payment cards and passes or disable Google Wallet for their child entirely via Family Link.
As of now, there are no predefined spending limits for kids using Google Wallet, meaning parents should stay vigilant to avoid unexpected charges. Google has not announced whether spending restrictions or budget controls will be introduced in future updates. However, children can only use the feature for in-store purchases, as online transactions are not supported, providing an added layer of security.
More Than Just Tap to Pay for Kids
Unlike the Fitbit Ace LTE, which only offers Tap to Pay, Google Wallet for kids comes with expanded functionality. Children can store and use passes, tickets, loyalty cards, and gift cards and access various types of digital cards and passes beyond just payment features.
Google Wallet for kids will roll out in the USA, Australia, Spain, Poland, and the UK over the next few weeks. There’s no word of when it will be available in other countries.
