- wolvoleo 4 hours agoHmm I don't really want apps to be able to be messing around with my esims. Just give me a QR to scan. Simple enough.[-]

- kuschku 3 hours agoThe operator decides which apps can interact with a given esim.
Wasn't this supposed to be a general purpose computer? Why can a service decide which apps I can use to access which features of my own device?
[-]- nesterenkopavel 3 hours agoI guess Google introduced it for security reasons. You still can install eSIM within your own android or in operator’s app by just giving permissions. Unfortunately service cannot decided by its own so you are as a user staying in safety while using random app.
