    People shouldn’t use google pay in the first place. All of these things being tied together by the same group is a problem in and of itself.

          I share a card with a family member. They have the physical one as it belongs to them, I use it on my phone

            You can’t just get an extra card for the account? My bank does offer this, and it’s how my parents have always shared their account.

              Sadly, I can’t. It’s not a legally shared account, and part of a specific legislation in my country (France). Basically, it’s tied to an account that can be used exclusively to purchase food at half the price during work days

              When it’s more convenient (ex: I’m already outside), I buy food for my family using their card and bring it back to them on my way home

              It’s unfortunately one of the things that make me stay on stock iOS rather than Graphene, as I prefer stock iOS to stock Android in terms of looks, comfort, and privacy

                Ah damn, well that sucks. I understand, however unfortunate it might be, some people do have actual reasons to stick with vendor-specific bullshit.

            We live in a fucking clown country the fact that the same company that makes the phones decides who can use tap to pay.

            Its like if visa was the only company that printed plastic cards.

            Not worried about security, it’s more that I can’t have two of the same card at the same time
