Chat feature comes in Google Tez app to challenge WhatsApp and Paytm

With the aim of challenging Paytm and WhatsApp, a new chat feature has been added to the Google Tez app. The chat feature is being rolled out gradually. With its help, users will not only be able to chat with another person, but will also be able to send or ask for money. Mainly the company’s effort is to provide users the facility to talk about payments through Google Tez. The latest change in Google Tez comes after WhatsApp started testing the payment feature in India.

A Google spokesperson has confirmed the addition of a chat feature to the Tez app. In an email statement to Tech News by Careers Ready, Google said, “We have added a feature to Tez that will help users send messages to their contacts and they will also receive the message.” This feature is not currently available for every Google Tez user. This feature is being rolled out gradually. This feature can be used only when both the people are using the latest fast app on the mobile device. We could not use this feature.

A separate chat button has come in the Google Tez app. It will be next to the ‘Pay’ and ‘Request’ buttons. With its help, users will be able to talk to their contacts. If you want, you can block any contact or disable any chat thread.

In November last year, Paytm Chat platform named Inbox made a part of mobile wallet Was. With its help you can share photos, videos and location. The chatting platform of this mobile wallet was in response to WhatsApp’s payment feature.

Now it will be interesting to see how Google Tez users react to the new chat feature. This app has more than 1 crore 20 lakh users. More than 140 million transactions have taken place on this platform since its launch in September last year.
