    It can be used like a contactless card. On a visa (paywave) / mastercard (paypass) terminal, we can tap out phone to make payment.

    in certain country, there is a scan qr code to pay functionalty.

    there is also a peer to peer money transfer feature

        i will have to re-setup the wallet on a new device and revoke access to the old device.

        Google doesn’t store the money. If my google account is locked (or if google deactivate it), then i will have to set up a new google account and associate with my bank account again.

        either way, I can’t use gpay/ google wallet now, because i am either running grapheneos or running a rooted android.
