WhatsApp competes with other UPI applications like Paytm, Google Pay, and PhonePe among others and allows users to make UPI payments in India. However, the impending upgrade may make it easier for users to utilize the messaging app’s payment component in the nation, since it has had trouble attracting enough of them.
A shortcut to the QR code for UPI payments is included in the most recent WhatsApp beta version for Android users. This feature may eventually be available to all users of the messaging service over the next few months.
WeBetaInfo revealed the next feature’s information this week, along with an image of the messaging app and the location of the QR code scanner on the conversation screen.
The tipster describes the beta functionality as follows: “UPI QR code scanning feature integrated directly from the chats list, users no longer need to navigate through multiple screens or follow several steps to make payments.”
HOW TO USE THE WHATSAPP UPI QR CODE SCANNER IN ANDROID BETA
According to the article, the QR code scanner shortcut is now available for a limited number of users on WhatsApp Android beta version 2.24.7.3. On the same tab as the camera and search icon, you will find the QR code scanner on the main chat page.
Rather than sending money via many loops to other UPI accounts, WhatsApp will read the code when you click on the QR code scanner to allow UPI payment from the chat app.
After using WhatsApp’s payment function, we discovered that consumers find it less convenient because of the hassle involved in making purchases. This shortcut for making UPI payments will probably lead to more people signing up for WhatsApp in India, or wherever UPI is accepted.
With billions of dollars’ worth of transactions per month, UPI is one of the most widely used digital payment methods in the nation. The majority of people in the nation utilize PhonePe and Google Pay for these transactions, but WhatsApp already has 400 million active users, so adding this UPI shortcut could finally give it the boost it needs to be successful in this market.
