Google today released Google Wallet 2.0.13611, an updated version of the search giant’s shopping app for iPhone users.

Google Wallet lets you carry your loyalty programs in your iPhone and forget about those plastic cards that bulk up your wallet. You can even use it to send money to a friend in the US only by using his / her e-mail address.

Version 2.0.13611 is now available with the added option to get notifications when you’re near a merchant with a saved loyalty program. Users can now add their loyalty programs even faster by just scanning their card. The card information will “auto-populate,” allowing you to use Google Wallet with that information from there on.

A few performance improvements are also scattered through the update. Download Google Wallet on your iOS 6 / iOS 7 device now and try these new features today.
