A feature appearing in the changelog does not mean it’s widely available. Some capabilities take months to fully launch.

Google Wallet’s Material 3 Expressive redesign started rolling out last week, but the company has made it official with version 25.25 for Play services. As a reminder, it often takes some time for features announced in this changelog to roll out to users even if they have the specified app update.
