    Partly because of this, I moved to graphene.

    Fuck google, simply. And I did like them 15-20 years ago. How far have they fallen…

      I wish I could, but I don’t want to carry around a wallet, so I need Google Wallet :( and it doesn’t work on Graphene.

          It can be used like a contactless card. On a visa (paywave) / mastercard (paypass) terminal, we can tap out phone to make payment.

          in certain country, there is a scan qr code to pay functionalty.

          there is also a peer to peer money transfer feature

            but what if someone stole your phone? and what if your Google account locked?

              i will have to re-setup the wallet on a new device and revoke access to the old device.

              Google doesn’t store the money. If my google account is locked (or if google deactivate it), then i will have to set up a new google account and associate with my bank account again.

              either way, I can’t use gpay/ google wallet now, because i am either running grapheneos or running a rooted android.
