I couldn't get a wallet app to work with GrapheneOS, so for me, QR codes are better, but they feel like they have different use cases. I like QR codes in mail invoices (very common in CH), I'd like NFC in a shop if I could use it.
- gunalx 1y agoIm im the same boat. Luckily in ny case a local banking app has their own NFC card Funktion witch works flawlessly. But no tap to pay would for me have been one of the greatest downsides with graphene os.
- deno 1y agoTap to pay sometimes works if the banking app has its own implementation instead of relying on Google Pay. There’s a list[1]. [1] https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/ https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compa...
- kevincox 1y agoThis is a policy problem not a technology problem. If QR code solutions mandated the same policy they would have the same limitation.
- lan321 1y agoThat was my disclaimer, but I do prefer, regardless of what works on GrapheneOS, having a QR in my invoice letters. You could shine a light on the envelope and likely read it without opening, but having anyone be able to touch their phone to the envelope to see I owe Y$ to X sounds worse. It's also nice in email since there's less to copy over, and my PC doesn't have NFC. I'd only prefer to have NFC over QR for in-store payment, and I transact way less money per month in-store.
- Y_Y 1y agoYou can also use NFC to just get a link, which is what you're doing with QR anyway.
