  1. Well, this is getting traction and an email to #MobilePay team on their app solved the issue and they no longer use bootloader status for gating using their app 🥳🤝💫

    I can tap to pay using Mobile Pay in Finland on a deGoogled device running non-rooted LineageOS 23.2. Take that #GoogleWallet.

  3. أصبح Google Wallet أول شريك محفظة رقمية لخدمة TSA PreCheck Touchless ID، مما يتيح للمسافرين المؤهلين اختيار الانضمام مرة واحدة لتسهيل إجراءات الأمن في المطارات الأمريكية. تتوفر هذه الميزة المبتكرة حاليًا في 65 مطارًا أمريكيًا وتدعم 100 شركة طيران مشاركة، مقدمة تجربة سفر أكثر سلاسة. يتم مشاركة بيانات المستخدم مع TSA فقط بعد الموافقة الصريحة والتوثيق من المسافر، وتخزن الهويات الرقمية بشكل مشفر وآمن على الجهاز لضمان حماية الخصوصية.

  4. Did your ID or driver's license vanish from your Google Wallet? 📱

    If you use the app in Germany for photo backups, a recent bug seems to have wiped them out. Trying to re-add them triggers a frustrating "Try again later" error. Whether it's a regulatory veto or a sign of an impending feature rollout, you aren't alone in this digital ghost wipe.

    Have your digital documents disappeared this week, or did your wallet survive? 👇

  13. Out and about this morning and Google Wallet decided I couldn't use it to make payments.

    I always carry my wallet just in case but some cards in GW are digital-only. Is there some kind of single-purpose piece of hardware designed to be used as a digital wallet without Google in my business? I'd much prefer that.

  19. My growing retired-transit-card collection

    A year ago, this week’s work trip to the Bay Area would have meant breaking out the oldest computer that I was still using with any regularity at the time: the Clipper card that I bought in June of 2012 to pay for fares on BART, Muni and other transit agencies around San Francisco.

    But this year, I could leave that NFC-enabled smart card in the little holder in which I store my other stored-value transit cards and instead tap my phone to pay with my business credit card for each ride–first a SamTrans bus from SFO to Millbrae, then Caltrain to San Jose for TechEx North America, then two days of commuting up and down the peninsula for Google I/O.

    BART started accepting contactless payments last August, and now all the Bay Area transit services that accept Clipper cards also let you tap to pay with a phone, a smartwatch or a credit or debit card with an NFC chip.

    Whether you call it “tap to pay,” “open payments” or “open loop,” letting people pay for a fare as if it were any other on-the-go purchase is a great advance for transit. Especially for out-of-towners, as I realized years ago when visiting Chicago and Portland and appreciating the early lead of their transit services in this key bit of CX.

    A growing array of agencies across the U.S. have finally wised up to this after years of requiring people to buy proprietary stored-value cards, install agency-specific apps or make a throwback cash payment: Metro, NYC’s MTA, the T in Boston, NJ Transit buses and light rail, SEPTA around Philadelphia, MARTA in Atlanta, and the Seattle region’s Sound Transit, among many others.

    L.A.’s Metro has been a high-profile laggard–a personally inconvenient one since my TAP card expired last year. But this week users have begun reporting success on Reddit and in Bluesky posts with using their phones and credit cards to cover train and bus fares now that Metro there seems to have begun a soft launch of what it calls “TAP Plus.”

    As I’ve spent down the balance on transit cards I no longer need, the ones that I still need to use are now most entirely confined to agencies in other countries. Some examples: I love Barcelona’s Metro but I don’t love how it doesn’t support tap to pay; Doha’s driverless metro is a technological marvel but also requires its own colorful card; Vancouver’s Compass Card offers enough of a discount over tap-to-pay rates (because that city didn’t follow Toronto’s fare-neutral example) that I picked up one for last year’s Web Summit conference there and used it again for this year’s event.

    But there is one awkward exception right in my neighborhood: Arlington Transit, which continues to require the SmarTrip card that WMATA rolled out in 1999. So while I can pay for Metro like it’s the 21st century, I still have to keep my well-worn SmarTrip card handy in case an ART bus rolls up before a Metro bus does.

  21. #TechIsShitDispatch
    I go grocery shopping this morning. At checkout I attempt to pay for my groceries using an #ElanFinancialServices card stored in #GoogleWallet. The charge is declined. I try again using the physical card. It works.
    Elan sends me email notifying me the charge was declined. "If you'd like to view this transaction, log in to your account." I log in; the transaction is not visible.
    I call Elan. They are unable to tell me why the charge was declined.
    😡
