Whatsapp adds new features to the payments background for UPI transactions
WhatsApp added a new feature that will create a more personalised experience for the sender as well as the receiver, by allowing themed backgrounds to its users while sending money to someone from the contact.
WhatsApp's Payments Background feature will allow Indian users to add themed backgrounds to monetary transactions conducted through the messaging platform.
“WhatsApp is a safe space where people share their thoughts and feelings with their friends and family. 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," said Manesh Mahatme, Director of WhatsApp Payments.
The new feature is brought in place to complement sending payments on birthdays, holidays, or for gifts and travel. As per WhatsApp, the idea of this feature is to create a more personalised experience for the sender as well as the receiver during the monetary transaction.
WhatsApp said the themed backgrounds make sending money personal and bring alive the story behind every payment.
