Google has released a major update to its Wallet app on iOS, completely redesigning and developing a new user interface for iPhone and iPad owners. Here's how the official changelog looks like:

• Completely rebuilt the app to make it easier than ever to send and request money
• Cash out directly to your debit card
• Removed support for loyalty cards, gift cards and offers

With this update, the app focuses on sending money between users instead of paying for goods from merchants. The new Wallet app on iOS brings an entirely refreshed interface allow users to send money from their debit card, bank account, or existing Wallet balance.

The Google Wallet Card also lets you instantly spend money you receive through the new Google Wallet app and it's also possible to cash out any money you have in your Wallet account by using your debit card or linked bank account at anytime.

The revamped Google Wallet app on iOS is available now for free via the App Store. Follow the link at the end of the article to download it.
