WhatsApp is rolling out two new features to enhance user experience: QR code payments and a profile picture screenshot block. Android beta testers can now scan UPI QR codes directly from the chats list, streamlining the payment process. The update version 2.24.7.3 enables users to access this feature seamlessly.
This feature simplifies transactions for users in India, where WhatsApp QR Code Payments feature is widely utilized. With the ability to scan UPI QR codes directly from the chats list, users save time and enjoy a more intuitive payment experience within the app.
Additionally, WhatsApp is introducing a profile picture screenshot block feature to enhance user privacy. The latest stable version of the app prevents users from capturing screenshots of other users’ profile pictures. This move aims to protect users’ privacy and prevent unauthorized sharing of profile pictures.
