Soon, you may be able to gift gold via Google Pay

You may soon be able to gift gold to your friends and family or practically anyone through Google Pay app. Earlier this year, Google had partnered with metal and mining service provider MMTC-PAMP to bring this functionality in order to enable customers in buying and selling gold in its payment app. The new feature will also enable gold gifting options in the app.

The development was spotted by XDA developers, inside Google Pay v48.0.001_RC03. According to the report, the version contains new strings that indicate that Google is moving one step forward and allowing users to gift gold to each other. The feature has not gone live yet and it is not clear when it will roll out as there is no official announcement by Google yet.
