Everything You Need to Know, Paytm Inbox is the new destination for chatting, know everything about it

Paytm is no longer just a wallet. Now it has also become a messaging platform. The company has launched the Inbox feature. Users can send messages, photos and videos from Paytm Inbox. Apart from this, you will also be able to use it to send and ask for money. Like WhatsApp, it is also equipped with live location sharing feature. This is not a separate app. Inbox is a part of the Paytm app. And for this, the app will have to update itself. In the latest Paytm app, the Inbox option will be visible in the navigation bar at the bottom.

In order to challenge WhatsApp, Paytm has highlighted the message recall feature in the new feature on the blog post. WhatsApp recently launched the Delete for Everyone feature. Apart from this, another WhatsApp feature – location sharing has also been provided in Paytm Inbox.

The user interface of the Paytm Inbox feature disappointed us a bit as you are limited to a single line of text message. This means that if you type a message longer than seven-eight words, you will not be able to see what you were writing in the beginning. This also makes it difficult to edit the message from the beginning. The company says that the messaging platform is end-to-end encrypted. And users can also do group chats in addition to private chats.

Let us tell you that the inbox feature uses the phone number linked to your Paytm. Fortunately, we have seen that almost all of our contacts use Paytm. This is because of the large user base of Paytm in the country. A lot of people now use Paytm to take advantage of e-commerce deals, Uber payments and make offline payments when cash is not available. And this is a big advantage of Paytm Inbox among the rest of the new messaging apps. This is a big advantage of Paytm Inbox among the rest of the new messaging apps. The new feature is available on the Paytm Android app and is expected to be rolled out on iOS soon.

It is worth noting that the number of Paytm users increased rapidly in India during the demonetization in November 2016. Paytm also says that the app currently has more than 20 crore wallets.
