Tap to pay is not there. But you can install the Play Store and install all your paid applications, that's what I did.

You can sandbox play store apps right?

Everything is sandboxed but I don't have all the details. You don't actively turn any sandbox on or off, it's always there IIRC.

Even the play store is sandboxed. Those stupid games covered in ads, no where near as bad when the app never has a network connection or access to any files outside its directory.

I guess I'll need to get one of those little holsters that can hold a credit card.

I'm not trying to convince you but I was paying for everything with my phone, it was the most important feature. After installing GrapheneOS, i got control back and piece of mind, and I dont miss tap to pay.
