I’m trying to move away from Google and other big tech corporations as much as I can without sacrificing practicality but it seems like the only way to make contactless payments is with stock android on a Google approved device.
Is there any alternative out there that would allow me to make contactless payments without these conditions met? (For example, if I put grapheneos on my phone)
I have a Pixel with GrapheneOS. You cannot use tre phone’s NFC for tap to pay (even if you download all the Google apps), so I have found a workaround with Garmin Pay on my Garmin smartwatch.
Not completely open source or private, but there isn’t anythig in the US that’ll do.
