Android Pay users will also be incompatible with root

The spread of NFC technology has made our smartphones more a credit card rather being a simple phone. This is highly valued by certain users to the point that in some countries the payment via mobile is outpacing traditional payments. But such payments are limited, at least for part of companies and operating systems as they are also prone to hacking.

So if Samsung Pay was the first system to shut its services to root users, Android Pay now which does the same. According to Google, along these days, you update the system so that users other than root can not use this system as there is a risk of hacking.

Pay will be incompatible with Android apps that hide status of root

Even Google has said that users who use software to hide their status to other applications have also prevented this new service since updating. As android is able to recognize and stop these systems, unlike other payment systems such as Samsung Pay or even Apple Pay.

It seems that Google and certifies its words about its payment service and your security system even though we have not tested these systems and whether they really are or not infallible. In any case if you are a root user then it is good to know that if you go back to your original state will be able to use Android Pay without being root, not even by SuperSU system.

Personally, I understand the circumstances of this situation and look good as a hack and vulnerability could make us pay big money, however, do not understand why if presumed safety do not create more effective systems of blocking and so that users can root smoothly and take the benefits it means to have root permissions.

Still, I think it will be a matter of weeks we can find a payment system that supports be root Wallet with technology.
