Congrats! I made the switch a few months ago and haven't looked back. Highly recommend everyone switch to GrapheneOS, even if you still use Google Play Services or other Google apps (obviously trying to get away from those is always the right move but it isn't that simple for most people)
Now just wish Google Pay or some other contactless payment could work with it...
It does. You just need to find one.
In my part of the world (UK) I use Curve for contactless payments using GrapheneOS.
As far as I know there's nothing that works in the US
Correct. In the US there is no entity that is supporting it. Technically any of our banks could create an app that supports it, but they're lazy and cheap.
