I'm trying to degoogling my life for quite long time. This is what is curreently missing:

  • wallet: only apple, samsung and google solutions out there for all Europe. There is a EU project that unfortunatlely cannot be used in the UK. I mean, to understand how sick the system is, think that most of all credit cards out there are owned by the US.
  • Family link, something to managed kids devices

iCard allows paying with their cards from their app.

  • wallet: my current solution is Garmin Pay. For that you need a compatible Garmin watch. Once the card is added to the watch, all the payment is done without even passing by the phone, just communication between watch and payment terminal. Garmin watches work really very well with Gadgetbridge. Cards have to be added via the Garmin App, and possibly via a phone running a stock OS (mine didn't work from the aftermarket ROM, but may be bank dependent)

  • Family Link: For other options you may need to do a factory reset and install a device manager app, that then needs to be enabled via ADB. Or use a custom ROM. No pleasant options out there.
