Iโ€™m trying to support blik and use it more but honestly, I find blik not easy to use. Iโ€™m sharing accounts with family members so Iโ€™m not sure how that will work for โ€œsave accountโ€ feature. But the fact I need to switch between apps is super annoying to me. With apple pay itโ€™s duble tap to face id and thatโ€™s it.

I feel that struggle - the app switching is defintely annoying compared to face id, but I've found the tradeoff worth it to support local payment systems over US tech giants (plus after using it for a while, the muscle memory kicks in).
