Paytm QR codes allow you to transfer money wirelessly by just scanning without having to enter the recipient’s phone number or any other details. However, not many people know that the Paytm app can not only scan QR codes using the camera but also scan QR codes from the iPhone’s photo library. This means that you can scan the Paytm QR code even if you don’t have physical access to it. If you want to send money to someone’s Paytm account but don’t have their phone number handy, this will make things easier.
Today, many stores across India have Paytm QR codes to accept cashless payments. Paytm also allows individuals to share QR codes to receive funds from others. But if you don’t have physical access to Paytm QR codes, you can scan them on your iPhone through your photo library.
