You can do this on just about any Android phone...
 
Hmm, I am not able to make payments in the ABSA app on my Xiaomi phone. I can perform all banking actions (transfers, etc), but not make payments.

I get an error message saying a technical error has occurred. It used to work, then about a week ago it doesn't. I have to log on with a PC to make payments. I can accept confirmations for transactions, as well.
 
What Brand of phones are you guys using? I'm deciding to get the Huawei Mate 50 Pro, and don't want these kind of troubles. Thanks

I love my Mate 50 Pro, but without Google services, you do need to tinker around a bit to get things working happily - MicroG, Gspace, etc. It works for me, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone not prepared to fiddle a bit.

I've been to Telkom and saw that Youtube, Maps etc are preloaded on the display phones. Do you have to log into each app separately and does it stay logged in when you exit the app? How do you mean you have to fiddle? I'm quite clued up with tech, but need to know if my Maps, Capitec and Youtube accounts will still sync if I'm logged into each of the google apps. What functions don't work on the apps that need to be side loaded?

Thanks

Yes, but Telkom doesn't have the Magic4 Pro. I'm looking at high end phones and at Telkom there is basically only Samsung S23 Ultra, S23+ and the Mate 50 Pro. That's just my take on it.

Thanks for the reply.

To be honest, I can't speak too much on the actual Google apps. I use Waze for nav, but Google Maps seems to work fine too, but I can't seem to sign in. Works fine in Gspace though, as does Youtube. Gspace is a virtual environment with Google service, lets most apps run just fine.

Thank you, so as long as I'm running Maps and Youtube in Gspace I can sign in and sync?
 
Wow, thanks, that's great news. Thank you for sharing the info. It's hard to find someone with firsthand experience.

Yes, that's also what I hear people are complaining about. I have only 2 weeks left to decide between Huawei and Samsung Our son wants my P20 Pro
