It’s not unlocked. It’s tap to scan just like a credit card. Though there’s no law here that you need to carry a license anyway. There isn’t most places as far as I know, but I do carry a physical id when going out of state.
I recently saw my sister (18, > 15 years younger than me) doing this and it made me so unbelievably anxious. Like, don’t you care that IF you lose that thing you lost every fucking thing? The thought of all the bureaucracy gives me the sweats…
Edit to add: I’m from Germany. I need to carry a variety of plastic cards.
The only thing I had to block was my credit card. I did do it with my smartphone, but I could have done that from a computer. I’m a millenial but I just don’t trust my phone, like a boomer. I’m the kind of guy who still uses checks regularly (although it’s kind of a cultural thing, Frenchies do love their checks).
actually worse because now any random person has your ID and cards… not much someone can do with a phone to extract your info… and getting a digital ID back is usually just a matter of logging in again: no cancelling cards, requesting replacements, potentially paying fees
Where do you keep your drivers license or ID?
I’ve seen people shove it into their pocket raw. Fucking terrifying way to live.
Fucking savages
I do this I used to have it in the back of my phone case but it doesn’t fit in there anymore so now I put it in raw.
I store them physically in my phone, more specific in my Spigen Slim Armor CS phone case
That’s just a wallet glued to your phone though.
Aww man, never seen it as one but you are right
You have a wallet.
Up my ass like an uncivilized ogre.
In my car, and I only take it inside when I know I’m going to need it.
I am someone who loses things. I don’t even have keys at this point. I have a pin pad lock my door.
The less things I carry, the less things I lose.
Downvoters don’t understand. I have friends like you, the struggle is real.
I’m not sure why the downvoting, I was just explaining what I really do. 😅
ADHD is a bitch
I feel seen.
On my phone like a civilized person.
So if you get pulled over, you’ll give your unlocked phone to a cop?
Oh, honey…
(Not necessarily “you,” rather anyone who keeps their ID in their phone. Unless you mean a phone case that has an ID slot?)
I feel the same, but I do think a lot of those id programs will work on the lock screen.
Still wouldn’t hand a cop my phone.

That’s better, but I still don’t want to risk giving my phone to a cop.

she probably didn’t had to go through the pain of that. Yet.
you still have a physical ID at home… you just don’t carry it around so it can be lost or damaged
i’ve lost my ID plenty… i’ve never lost a phone, and even if i did it’s trackable, and the ID is secure so it can’t be sold for identity theft
and getting the license back even if the phone is completely lost or damaged beyond repair is just logging into the app again; no bureaucracy
I lost my wallet recently. It was no better than if she lost her phone…
My phone has a lot of second factors I need to lock my cards / accounts. Losing both would still be worse to me.
