This time the users' payment experience is going to be more emotional and memorable, because WhatsApp has come up with a new update for its Payments feature. 


WhatsApp users in India will now be able to add Payments Background when sending money to their friends or close relatives from the app. The feature is exclusively for Indian users. The instant messaging app, owned by Facebook, says the feature will help send money as well as create a sweet feeling in people's minds.





WhatsApp's Payments Background feature is very similar to Google Pay's Payments Background feature. With Gpay, you can now add different backgrounds when sending money, just as you would with WhatsApp.


Talking about the new feature, Manesh Mahatme, Director, WhatsApp Payments, said, “WhatsApp is a safe place for people to share their thoughts and feelings with their friends and family. With Payments Background, we strive to bring a new dimension to everyday payments made through the app. Users can express their feelings in the payment process through various emotional themes like festival, affection, warmth or fun if they want. We believe that sending and receiving money carries a much deeper meaning than just a transaction. Behind every transaction lies an unknown story, which will allow users to unfold more clearly through this background. We're working hard to roll out many more new features to give users a more engaging and smooth WhatsApp payments experience in the future. ”
