A place to talk about New York on Farcaster

NY finally gets mobile IDs! Just downloaded the app to try it out, we'll see if places actually accept this though (bars, clubs, etc.)

i tried the new NY mobile ID (“mid”) app

unfort doesn’t work with the Wallet app like some other states do

it makes you take a selfie when you set it up and displays that as your photo ID

overall feels a little janky and mid. about right for NY public services lol

Agreed. Really missing out on Apple wallet integration. Better than nothing I guess lol.
