Paytm has introduced a fresh privacy-oriented feature in the form of 'Hide Payment', through which users can hide individual transactions from payment history in the app. The initiative aims to provide users with better control over their transaction history and as response to increasing privacy concerns around transactions.
The 'Hide Payment' option enables users to hide specific payments—like surprise gifts, personal spends, or secret spends—from view, but retain complete access to them if necessary. Notably, the option does not erase any transaction but merely hides it from the principal list of transactions, maintaining transparency and ease of access.
How to Hide a Transaction on Paytm:
Open the Paytm app and navigate to “Balance & History.”
Swipe left on the transaction you wish to hide.
Tap on the “Hide” option and confirm by selecting “Yes.”
The transaction will now be hidden from your visible payment history.
How to Unhide a Transaction:
Go to “Balance & History” in the Paytm app.
Tap the three-dot icon next to ‘Payment History’ and select “View Hidden Payments.”
Authenticate using your PIN or biometric verification.
Swipe left on the hidden transaction and tap “Unhide.”
The transaction will reappear in your payment history.
This feature launch coincides with the demand from customers for greater privacy and convenience in making digital payments. Paytm's new feature is also differentiated compared to competitors such as Google Pay and PhonePe, as they currently do not have similar transaction-hiding features, providing Paytm customers with a special privacy benefit.
