This is a very convenient addition as it allows the viewing and saving of a pass on any device, including desktops and iOS devices. This is especially useful for boarding passes, as it means that recipients don’t need to have the Google Wallet app installed on their devices in order to access their boarding pass or when one family member has all the family’s passes downloaded onto one device.

The new link-based pass sharing feature in Google Wallet seems like a convenient and easy-to-use way to share passes with others and I can see many cases where it will become very helpful. Hopefully this functionality continues to roll out and a clearer list becomes available as to which types of passes can be used with it.
