> The Wero app can be installed on any mobile device or tablet running iOS 17.4 or later, or Android 9 or later. We recommend updating your device to the latest version of its operating system for maximum performance and security.

> It is not possible to send Wero payments to friends & family via a web browser or on a computer

Truly independent from US companies ... If you don't have an iOS or an Android device, you are just stuck, once again

Wow, that's a deal breaker for me. I don't need yet another service that's only accessible to a dumbed down device. Here I was hoping that it'd become available in my country as well...

One step at a time. Until then, you can use Murena or GrapheneOS.

AfAIK wero needs Google Play Integrity. So you are still stuck with Google.

When that are said. I 100% agree with you - one step at a time.

I think Wero will no longer depend on that in 3–5 years. It's just real challenges that the European banking system needs to figure out.

The EU works slow, but it does move :)

Kind of like the Ents in LOTR

Wero has no such requirement. The bank that you use to interoperate with Wero might require Google Play Integrity though.

Thanks for the correction

Well 2 weeks ago I have managed to send and received a wero transaction from my /e/Os without Google play. Someone is wrong here

[sisve → rihegher]

Wow. Interesting. Do you know how that was done?

The latest I heard about an alternative to Google play services was https://www.heise.de/en/news/Paying-without-Google-New-conso...

If you where able to send and receive I was obviously wrong. I'm very glad but also confused.

We have not used the wero app directly but my bank app which does not require Google play but has integrated the use of wero to send or receive money from or to bank accounts. My bank is LCL in France

That second quote is truly a sentence of all time. It is not possible to use this [computer payment system] on a computer...

[Barrin92 → vmaurin]

the barrier to spinning up an alternative European Android operating system given that it's open source is not that high, see China, and my money would be on that happening within the next few years.

You can use your PC

[bluebarbet → edwinjm]

It is very clear than you cannot. Yet.

Can you elaborate?
