    I’m 100% on linux and FOSS at my home - except for my phone unfortunately because of this reason. I’ve worked in FinTech, I understand why theoretically they won’t want to, but I was hoping some work around had been done. Unfortunately I depend on google pay, so it will have to wait for me.

      If you have a smartwatch, does it support contactless payment? I have a Fitbit that does, technically it implements Apple Pay even though Fitbit is owned by Google now. I was able to set it up just fine through the Fitbit app on GrapheneOS (though I don’t think I’ve actually tested it yet).

        That’s actually an idea there, I never thought of them as separate devices, more the watch is just a portal to the phone, but that’s a good idea. Keep the watch all googly and the phone graphene may work

          A narrative the manufacturers push, so not surprising that the thought pattern developed that way.
