A few months back, Google revealed plans to roll out a new Quick Settings tile for Google Wallet. At that time, it looked like Samsung users were missing out on this feature but that’s set to change.
Just tap once from Quick Settings to open Wallet
According to a recent report, Samsung phones are finally receiving the new Google Wallet Quick Settings tile. To access this feature, users will need version 24.39 of Google Play Services and version 24.38 of Google Wallet.

This tile offers a convenient way to access tickets, passes and other documents in the Google Wallet app. Also, while you can make contactless payments from an unlocked phone without opening the app, now a quick tap will show you if the payment went through. Plus, I think it will be particularly useful as Google Wallet expands support for additional types of passes, such as IDs.
Samsung phones have been missing this one-touch shortcut to Google Wallet from Quick Settings, a feature that has been available on other Android devices for a while. The previous Wallet tile was a system-level option that manufacturers could decide to include or not, and Samsung opted out of it in One UI. So, I think it’s a positive move that Google is introducing this as an app-based feature, giving users more flexibility.
