Didn't they already force everyone onto wallet?

At least I had to already stop using Pay like 6 months ago

From the article:

Google Wallet, a pioneer in the NFC payments space...eventually got combined with Android Pay and rebranded to Google Pay, only to become Google Wallet again for most users, even though Google Pay stuck around in the US, India, and Singapore.

EDIT: And I assume you don't live in the US, India, or Singapore.

I'm in the US as well, and I had a gesture shortcut for Google Pay on my phone. For a while, whenever I opened it the app would strongly suggest I switch over to Google Wallet. I thought Pay was phased out a while ago as well, TIL.

I'm in the US and was forced off a good while back.
