paypal doesn't work.
Google wallet doesn't work
OK now I'm even more sold on getting GrapheneOS.
Google wallet is not something a "deGoogled" phone needs to worry about
I don't use PayPal much, but is there anything about it you can't just do in a web browser?
Haven't tried Google wallet, but why should PayPal not work? I'm paying in my browser anyway
Haven't used PayPal much in the last..phew...2? years, but as I'm ordering in a browser and then get to PayPal or usually just done credit card screen, I didn't had any problems - besides PayPal changing rules like underwear and I'm a bit fed up with it
The app won't let you log in. Come to think of it, Same with the Wells Fargo app
Never used the PayPal app
And never needed it for any payment
Can't you do this all just by browser?
Wells Fargo let's you log in. I use it on a daily basis on my Pixel 8 Pro with GOS.
Google Wallet is a huge part against switching for me, what are my options? I have issues getting Curve registration accepted due to unknown issues and have so far had no luck with their support..
you type your card # in everytime?
Only if the price is really high, can't remember the last time, I'm talking must be years ago. Do have to approve every purchase with biometrics of course.
now ur trollin lol
What do u mean lol
Sold if you can't get YouTube to work.
NewPipe & Co works on my current GrapheneOS
Edit: not sure if that now is an anti feature for you ;-)
Do other wallets work? The convenience of being able to pay when I've lost my wallet again again is what got me to do it in the first place.
I don't know of any others
Yeah, me either.
