Everything You Need to Know, Paytm Inbox, 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. From Paytm Inbox, users can send messages, photos and videos. 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 part of the Paytm app. And for this the app will have to be updated. In the latest Paytm app, the Inbox option will be visible in the navigation bar at the bottom.

With the intention of challenging WhatsApp, Paytm has emphasized on the message recall feature in the new feature in the blog post. Recently Delete for Everyone feature has been launched in WhatsApp. Apart from this, another WhatsApp feature – location sharing – is also 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 messages. 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. Due to this, it becomes difficult to edit the message from the beginning. The company says that the messaging platform is end-to-end encrypted. And apart from private chat, users can also do group chat.

Let us tell you that the Inbox feature uses the phone number linked to your Paytm. The good thing is that we saw that almost all our contacts use Paytm. The reason for this is the large user base of Paytm in the country. Many people now use Paytm to avail e-commerce deals, make Uber payments and make offline payments when cash is not available. And this is the big advantage of Paytm Inbox among other new messaging apps. This is a big advantage of Paytm Inbox among other new messaging apps. Paytm is newly available on the Android app and it is expected that this feature will be rolled out on iOS also soon.

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