Is it possible to use PhonePe for payments on GrapheneOS?
-
I’m trying to figure out how to pay at shops without using GPay on my GrapheneOS setup. Since Google's NFC payments are not an option, has anyone had luck using Indian bank apps or PhonePe for tap-to-pay instead? I’m wondering if their NFC features remain reliable on an alternative OS.

You’re totally right. The big problem is that "tap-to-pay" relies on Google's technology, which isn't available on GrapheneOS. You can still use PhonePe or BHIM for QR codes and UPI transfers, but NFC payments at stores probably won’t suffice. Many Indian banks haven’t rolled out their own NFC solutions yet. Some people manage to get UPI to work using sandboxed Play Services, but it’s quite hit or miss. If you’re looking for straightforward tap-to-pay, GrapheneOS could be a bit of a hassle.
