I occasionally use Google Pay on my phone (by way of a credit card added to the app), but I'm in Australia and have no idea if this story impacts me.
In fact, I have no idea if the 'Google Pay' that I know and use is the same as the one mentioned in this story. Do people in other countries have different apps from google, but named the same as my local apps? That's pretty confusing. I cannot see any P2P (person to person?) features in my app, just the 'add credit or debit card' functionality.
If I traveled to India and saw Google Pay was supported at a checkout, I'd absolutely try and use my app.. but perhaps would be in for a bad time. Who knows?

- wasmitnetzen 6y agoYou can find the canonical name of your installed "Google Pay" if you click on "Share" in the app view of Google Play. I live in Europe and had the same reaction as you, and I have com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel installed, which shows up as the mentioned (old app) in the US Play store[1]. So I guess, as usual with Google: Maybe we're affected?

- Liskni_si 6y agoNew new one [1] says "This app is not available for your device" so it seems it can be anything from "we're not affected" to "we're affected much more than US". :-/ [1]: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.nbu.paisa.user https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...
