Ryanair Euro conversion

Have Ryanair stopped allowing you to choose the dynamic exchange rate when you pay in Euros?
I was attempting to book a one way back from TFS yesterday, which obviously charges in Euros. On the payment page you used to be able to click through a link and elect to convert to £'s using the current dynamic rate instead of the rate that Ryainair set, which is usually quite poor.
Couldn't find the link anywhere, am I just missing it or have they stopped allowing you to do this.

The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

It's still there on the Ryanair website. After you enter your card number up pops the price in both currencies and the words "more information." You have to click on that and untick the guaranteed exchange rate.
These days it's easier to use the Ryanair app, which doesn't convert euro purchases into pounds.0 -
Thanks, I hadn't put my card details in yet, I got to the payment stage and not seeing the "more info" box I balked at the purchase.The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot.

my Huawaei phone won't let me download the Ryanair app. Does anyone have any tips what might be causing this or any other way I can circumvent this? I have disputed my previous booking with Ryanair where I unticked the box and had to suffer their conversion rate.0

Was it a high value?
Worst case, maybe 5% if you are paying with the very best plastic.
The flights could go up more than that. And I am not sure if its still valid but Amex were giving £10 cashback if paying Ryanair.0
