In recent months many developers have tried to the mobile is the only device or object that we have in our pockets. For this reason, various payment methods have come out so as not to carry the wallet and also several apps to take notice or record things.
Microsoft has long had an application that partly replaces many of these elements, this application is called Microsoft Wallet, an application will also be present in Windows 10 and present in the form of a universal application. So it seems that Microsoft wants to have a presence in this market or this niche in which companies such as Apple, Samsung or Google are looking.
Thanks to the Microsoft Italia blog we have known Screenshots of the new Universal Microsoft Wallet app that will be available soon. This new universal app will have a new user interface, nothing to do with the old application. You can scan barcodes to save them, you will also continue to save business cards and other notes to have them on hand, you can add loyalty and membership cards as well as organize everything in a simple database with a search engine.
Microsoft Wallet will be a universal app and a mobile payment?
Microsoft Wallet can also be fully customized. Thus we will not only count on a new Live Tile but we can also customize the colors of the application as well as access to it. Unfortunately Microsoft Wallet still does not support mobile payment nor will it be a mobile payment, something that we imagine will happen sooner or later but for the moment it will not take place.
Personally I think that the mobile phone will replace the purse or wallet, and in some aspects I think it has replaced it perfectly. But in this case I think Microsoft has been confused with this app since it would have been a perfect rival for payment services like Apple Pay And it would also have been a huge boost for the Windows 10 Mobile platform, something that it badly needs.
