Monzo for Android - Teardowns & Deep Dives 👨‍💻

Oh my god finallyyyyyyyyyyy!

From the snippets in the app code, you have up to ten seconds to cancel sending a payment after pressing ‘Confirm payment’*

Like the Undo Send feature in an email client.

*If implemented

Presumably, like email clients, it just waits 10 seconds to see if you’re going to cancel it.

Be good if we did get itn for andorid.

Incoming reverse monzo.me? - send a payment to anyone via a link (they enter their bank details into a web-page to receive it into their bank) :eyes:

Oh, the crypto abuse…

Could this be for the US?

Because US banks don’t do faster payments, some (well, at least one) let you send money instantly to debit cards:

Edit: no, no it’s not:

<string name="new_pay_anyone_intro_body">Easily send money to anyone with a UK bank account—you don’t even need to know their bank details!</string>

This has been a thing already for a long time?

The string indicates it’s just a new intro screen I think.

Good spot. Upon re-reading it, it looks like a change of terminology around that feature.

Lots of removed strings due to Monzo USA closing maybe?

A fair bit of Spain stuff coming in.

Are we going to be able to remove this emoji… because i really dont want it there.

Flags are such a contentious thing, poorly thought out if this cant be opted out of.

It’s not about you, it’s about your account.

It might be about the account - maybe its a precursor to having different accounts in different countries? However, I completely agree flags are emotive. I don’t like this and would like to remove it as well.

Did you not create your account in the UK?

Or is it you’re not British and find it offensive?

How do you even get to that screen :confused:

Tap profile and personal details.

Got it, thanks!

Never needed to go here, probably never will again. I can sleep easy now whether there is a flag there or not :sweat_smile:

Version 7.34.0 introduced two strings linked to the flag emoji in the profile screen, one ‘on’ and one ‘off’:

    <string name="s_profile_member_since_format">{{ flag_emoji }} Member since {{ date }}</string>
    <string name="s_profile_member_since_format_no_flag">Member since {{ date }}</string> 

Unsure as to how the preferred display option can be selected though. I suspect it is linked to the reported Tax Residency country for now.
