Paytm Rolls Out Hide Payments Feature to Manage Transaction Visibility: How to Use

One 97 Communications Limited on Tuesday launched a new ‘hidden payment’ feature for the Paytm app. As the name suggests, it allows users to move certain transactions out of the main view. The company says this makes it easier to manage shared devices, handle sensitive purchases, and gain discreet visibility into financial activities. The feature is said to have been developed in response to growing user demand for more granular privacy options.
