Anyway, all the details are here. Google is taking on ….basically every money-related app I can think of, from Ally to Apple Pay to Shop to Mint to Venmo and nearly everything in between. (only thing it’s missing is cryptocurrency I guess!) https://t.co/oqWZtbjmNg — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

There is a Stories-like feature in Google Pay. I am not kidding. You can tap through little bits of analysis on the Insights tab that aggregates all your banking info https://t.co/pzjvQxaaKI — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

One notable thing: Google Pay works on both iOS and Android (though of course tap to pay is Android only) Another notable thing: only works on one phone at a time and there’s no web app. — PolitiTweet.org

(Also there’s a new icon and I really don’t know what it’s meant to represent.) https://t.co/7jKuC8dXmw — PolitiTweet.org

In 2021 Google Pay will offer full in-app only banking services for checking, other basic banking — actual banking offered by Citi, BMA, and some credit unions. The program is called Plex. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Google Pay has turned off all the personalization by default, but you can opt in to share a ton of data with Google for it to analyze in the app. Google says it’ll never be shared with third parties or Google’s ad targeting division. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Holy moly, this Google Pay relaunch is HUGE. It’s taking on... every money app. Venmo. Mint. Shop. Apple and Samsung Pay. It can track banking, offer deals, scan barcodes for shopping. It’s a lot. Maybe too much (data for Google, that is). Full story: https://t.co/oqWZtbjmNg — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

It can search for things inside receipts, like “tent.” And you can choose to connect your Google Photos to Google Pay and have it auto scan your receipts. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

New tab called “insights” that lets you connect bank accounts, credit cards, debit cards to get an overview of your finances, like Mint or Simplifi. Show summaries of spending, lets you search for stuff like how much you’ve spent on clothes. https://t.co/elqX8llgGH — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

It has a QR code scanner for sending money to and from people. There’s also a feed of deal offers. when you add a deal, it associates it a linked credit card and when yo uuse that card, you get cashback into a Google Pay balance. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

You can order food from 100k restaurants in the app, pay for gas in-app at 30k stations, pay for parking in 400 cities (ParkMobile and Passport parking) — PolitiTweet.org

New Google Messaging app alert! Peer-to-peer payments are presented in a chat interface, including group chat. https://t.co/GS7nU32wUJ — PolitiTweet.org

Google is making a major Google Pay announcement today — here’s a livestream video, happening now https://t.co/H9rogo5gCW — PolitiTweet.org

Iis anybody making a decent magsafe wallet that can hold more cards than Apple’s? Don’t even need it to be leather, just need a to be able to five cards, one of which is a large building access card. — PolitiTweet.org

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity isn’t subtle, but it’s still Zelda. @A_Webster has the review, which has convinced me to ...wait for the cutscene supercuts on YouTube I think? https://t.co/Xz6QCnhrmX — PolitiTweet.org

Excited to be done with a very hectic review season capped by the most important laptops to be released in many years. Now I can devote myself full time to my true passion: advocating for tweets, but editable. — PolitiTweet.org

@derekakessler The funny thing about the internet is that things that happen on it don’t have to follow the same rules as things in the physical world. — PolitiTweet.org

@lapcatsoftware “Developers will be asked to apply for the program, and Apple says it will be releasing more information about that process and other eligibility requirements and deadlines in December.” https://t.co/judRl5cOY1 — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Even though I don’t think it solves the fundamental issues with the App Store, I still do think it’s a step in the right direction and it is unambiguously good to allow smaller devs and businesses to keep more money. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Also as Dr. Evil’s flunkies will tell you, one million dollars ain’t what it used to be. Split out the cost of a salary or two and the cost of actually running a business and even Apple’s reduced 15% still feels like a big slice. That’s 150k our of 1m. Better than 300k obviously https://t.co/P3mmz7hnSV — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

It’s also a very big, open question whether or not this has any impact on Apple’s own bottom line on App Store revenue. My guess, nah. Here’s good context from @jacknicas — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

It’s quite a thing that Apple chose to make devs apply instead of just making it an across the board cut. I suspect that it’s because it would be easy for people to game a $1 mil cap system with multiple accounts, so Apple just wants a more direct relationship — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Devs who make less and $1 million per year can apply to get their app store fees reduced to 15%. This is a good move in the right direction, but underneath the feel-good number at the top are lots of provisos. https://t.co/judRl5cOY1 — PolitiTweet.org

@msenese This is why I think it’s inevitable. — PolitiTweet.org
