Android 15 is now adding the ability to set a default wallet app. So on Pixels, you can change from Google Wallet to a third-party app.

      It does work fine, but it’s yet another avenue of data collection for them and another reduction of choice by a monopoly.

      It has a major flaw: it works from anywhere so long as the phone is unlocked.

      I wish there was an option to set it that payments work only when I open the wallet app.

      To avoid accidentaly triggering a payment, what I do now is manually turn NFC off after every payment
