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

FYI it does work, but be aware youll need (sandboxed) google play services installed on at least one profile of your phone to connect a wearOS device
Good callout, maybe I’ll try it out someday
A narrative the manufacturers push, so not surprising that the thought pattern developed that way.
