Prioritising user security, WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that enables users to make UPI payments directly within their chat conversations.
WhatsApp has introduced a new feature where users can scan UPI QR codes directly from their chat list. Previously, users had to navigate to individual chats to use this feature. Now, WhatsApp has added a QR code icon beside the camera icon. This convenient feature streamlines UPI payments, saving time and making transactions more efficient. Let’s explore this new UPI integration in WhatsApp.
WhatsApp’s QR code will work like phone pay
WhatsApp is testing a new feature in its beta version that allows users to make UPI payments directly from the chat list. Instead of switching between apps, users can now scan QR codes and make payments from within WhatsApp. To use this feature, users must first enable UPI on their WhatsApp account. It operates similarly to popular payment apps like PhonePe and Paytm.
How does WhatsApp UPI feature work?
- To use this feature, users must first connect their bank account with the app.
- Keep in mind that your WhatsApp number and UPI account number should be the same.
- After this, you will be able to make payment through WhatsApp like other UPI apps.

WhatsApp has introduced a new security feature that helps protect user privacy. This feature prevents others from taking screenshots of profile photos, preventing unauthorised sharing and potential misuse of personal information. Currently available for Android users, the feature will soon be extended to iOS users. By implementing this privacy measure, WhatsApp aims to safeguard its users’ personal data and prevent any potential security breaches.
