      Literally the only feature I use on it is getting sunset.

        Out of curiosity, what’s the benefit of Google Pay for you over Venmo or Zelle?

          At the time I started using Google Pay, existing and being from a company I had heard of. Not to mention on Android it was just there for you to use, you didn’t have to download another app.

          My roommate and I considered using PayPal but his PayPal account got locked and to this day a decade later, never unlocked.

          I’m going to be looking into both Venmo and Zelle now though.

          It works internationally.

          Those other 2 are USA only

          Those other two are so frequently used for scams that my bank has a heart attack every time I try to use them. No matter how many times I call them and tell them to unblock my card, because it was definitely me sending that money, they’ll block it the very next time. I literally bought a checkbook (you have to buy those dumb things now?!) so I could more easily give people money… In 2023…

          Google pay worked for me reasonably well for small transactions between friends and family. That’s literally what I use it for 90% of the time. I’m super annoyed that they don’t have a replacement for it.

          Google strikes again, killing something I love.
