    Thank-you.

    Off topic: I keep meaning to ask this; am I still able to use wallet like applications to make RFID payments with GrapheneOS?

    I’m one of those strange people that spends physical cash like water but much better with electronic currency.

    I think that’s the only thing that stops me bar having to get a new battery.

      Whether NFC payments work seems very much dependent on what your bank app is allowing. Some banks in the EU have no issues, so you should check what particular payment system you want to use.

      In general, chances are low. Some people use smartwatches as a workaround.

      I don’t use smartwatches nor NFC payments with smartdevices. My bank card allows NFC payments directly.
