Google tests voice confirmation for payments

The trial, spotted by Android Police, lets people add a 'Confirm with Voice Match' option within the Google Assistant setting.

Currently only available to some users, the feature is part of a pilot for Assistant-enabled speakers and smart displays.

It only works for a handful of payment types, such as in-app purchases, and has limits on both transaction size and the number of payments that can be made in a day.
