Description of the app's functionality
The app works fine, including the NFC payment feature (碰一碰), but the fingerprint function is not available. (However, the fingerprint function is enabled on compatible Chinese phones such as Huawei and Xiaomi, since Alipay seems to have a custom fingerprint UI for each type of phone, as opposed to simply calling the system fingerprint prompt like most banking apps. Since the Pixel is not officially sold by Google in China, they probably didn't bother supporting it.)
(There is a Magisk module which you can search for that enables the fingerprint function, but I wouldn't recommend rooting your phone.)
Are there any extra notes you think users should know about?
If you are using the location feature, it seems that in many places in the app, pressing "Only this time" does not work properly. You will have to use "Allow only while using the app".
Setting a pattern password to unlock the payment code and the profile screen is recommended. You can do this by going to "我的>gear icon>账号与安全>解锁设置". You will also see, at that screen, that "本机暂不支持指纹".
Using the Chinese interface (and using the standard version instead of the international version for foreigners) is recommended, since the English interface and the international version is dumbed-down and hides away a lot of useful features.
ADB logcat of the app if necessary
