As we know, in last month, WhatsApp has introduced its Payment feature in India. The Payment feature of WhatsApp is still in a testing phase. But most of the users have activated this feature on their Smartphone using WhatsApp Beta. However, the Payment feature is based on Unified Payment Interface (UPI) platform. With this feature, WhatsApp will directly compete Paytm and other digital wallet platforms.
Earlier this week, WhatsApp has made some changes to its payment interface. WhatsApp has added Send to UPI ID feature which allows users to send payments to unique UPI IDs without going into any conversation threads. Now users can send money to their friends or other members using UPI IDs. Earlier you can send money only to your WhatsApp contact. But with this update, you don’t have to save someone’s number in your contacts list to get started with WhatsApp Payment feature.
However, WhatsApp has added the new option to Send Payment which will be seen under the Payment setting menu. With this, you can transfer money to unique IDs without moving towards any individual group or personal chat. Here are some steps which will help you to send money to any unique UPI IDs.
