Paytm New Hide Feature: Paytm has introduced a new Hide Payments feature for users as part of its latest app update, which can give users more control over their transaction history and better privacy on the platform.
This feature allows users to remove certain transactions of their choice from the main transaction history view and keep them in a separate and secure section, making digital payment management more private and personal. Transactions are neither deleted nor changed – they remain completely secure and can be accessed anytime when needed. Currently, Paytm, India’s leading digital payments platform, is the only UPI app to offer this feature to its users.
Why has the company brought this feature?
According to the company, this feature was developed to address growing user demand, as many people use shared devices, make sensitive purchases, or prefer to keep their financial activities more private. Paytm’s new feature addresses these evolving user needs while maintaining transparency and security.
