Earlier this year, we stumbled upon some hints of Google working on a form of digital ID storage for Android devices. Even back then, it was very early in its development and the chances of it making its way to Android 10 were slim. Now, Qualcomm has shed some more light on the yet-to-be-released features at its Tech Summit. The company just confirmed that its Snapdragon 865 and 765 chips will be the first to officially support digital ID storage.

We’re very excited to announce that Snapdragon will be the first mobile SoC to support Android Identity Credential APIs, which means that mobile drivers’ license and electronic ID will be possible with Android R.
