 I’ve seen a similar issue with @zapplepay — manually approving works but if I configure auto-approval and a daily budget, it doesn’t seem to work. Maybe @benthecarman can help? 
 You need the app open for the payment to go through 
 Interesting. Here's what I did:

Opened mutiny. Opened Amethyst. Zapped you and got this:

It seemed to hang there and not complete.

Then went back to Mutiny and zap said it was pending. Went back to Amethyst and it finally showed the zap had processed.  
 Yes you need to open mutiny after you initiate the payment. Everything runs on your device so you need to open the app for the payment to go out 
 Cool. Makes sense. Not as convenient as NWC with a custodian like Alby, but way quicker than Zeus accessing my node through Tor. 
 nwc is a service you can run with lnd now on umbrel, start9, etc so you can get that alby experience on your own stuff 
 I think it’s the right functionality. I can give #zap without any problem in @damus  before it wasn’t possible. Tnk 
 Thanks clarifying.

Just tried it but it didn’t seem as reliable as the manual method. I reacted with 🤙 on about 10 notes and only one went through after opening the app and waiting for a couple minutes. 

I guess I’m cool with the manual approvals since the app has to be opened anyways. Just thought I’d let you know.
