Yep. We should get an app update soon.

Will it be automatic if we have Android Pay installed, or will we have to go to the Play Store and re-install? I'm not too clear on what we have to do.

Should be updated automatically in the coming days. Nothing to do on the Users end.

That might depend on your settings

True!

In any event, is it reasonable to expect some kind of notification that the update is either available or installed?

Does your phone automatically update your apps or do you update manually? If you update manually you'll see an update for the app, if you let the phone update automatically you'll see that the update was installed.

The same way you update other apps from the play store .

As soon as I opened Google Pay it deleted Android Pay

Thank you.

ETA: Mine didn't replace Android Pay, so I must not have the update yet.

Just go to apkmirror.com and install them yourself. No need to wait.

Something that I trust with credit card info is not something I'm getting from an alternate source...

Anyone know if this effects android wear? I like waving my watch to pay. I hope I still can.

I see this as more of a branding update than a change in functionality.

It's a merge of functionality between Android Pay and Google Wallet.
