However, it is just one side of the coin. Unlocking the bootloader or rooting your device trips the Safety Net. As a result, all the apps and games which are dependent on it will refuse to function on such a device. While it is mostly done from the security point of view as an unlocked bootloader device is more prone to attacks, however, the user who has carried out all these tweaks is already aware of the risks involved and has voluntarily proceeded with the steps. So it should ultimately be the choice of the end-user whether or not they wish to run banking and payment apps on their device or not. At the very most, the app developers could notify the user and gain their acknowledgment that they are trying out their app on an unlocked/rooted device at their own risk. But while [unfortunately] that isn’t the case, you could still use Google Pay [GPay] on your rooted Android device using a nifty workaround. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that.
