WhatsApp unveils Payments Background feature in India

WhatsApp had already launched its UPI-based payments platform in India and now it is rolling out an update to this feature which basically will help in making money transfers on the messaging app more personalised and interesting.

WhatsApp’s new feature is called Payments Backgrounds for its WhatsApp Payments users in India and it is aimed at delivering a personalised payments experience to users. It helps users choose a relevant background while sending money to a friend or a family member.

“With Payments Backgrounds, our effort is to bring excitement to everyday payments through WhatsApp and enable our users to express themselves if they wish, through a range of emotive themes denoting celebrations, affection, warmth or fun,” Manesh Mahatme, Director of WhatsApp Payments, said on the occasion.

“We believe that sending and receiving money is so much more than just a transaction. Often it’s the stories behind the exchanges that are priceless,” he added.
