WhatsApp launches new feature update

WhatsApp has rolled out an update and submitted it through the Google PlayBeta Program — bringing the version up to 2.21.10.11.

WhatsApp’s UPI payments feature is already in use in India, according toWABetainfo, but the feature is not available to everyone.

However, Indian people — who do not have the option — could enable it bysending a payment request.

“Payments requests are the way to enable the feature for a contact. It’stotally free and this action will immediately make available UPI Paymentsfor the recipient of the request,” said WABetainfo.

WhatsApp is working on a new section to introduce UPI Payments.

“We don’t know if WhatsApp is developing this new section because therewill be a new announcement that will allow everyone in India to send UPIPayments by default without any payment request, but it’s a possibility,”it added.
