WhatsApp is adding the ₹ (Rupee symbol) symbol in its chat composer to make sending Payments using WhatsApp easier for users in India. WhatsApp also announced that the Camera icon in Composer now lets users scan any QR code to enable paying at more than 20 million stores in India.
The Rupee symbol (₹) roll out has begun and would soon be available to users all over India, in the coming weeks.
“We believe true inclusion is when customers don’t have to navigate their way through their phone to make a payment. An arrival point is when payments just “fits” into a customer’s intrinsic behaviour,” said Manesh Mahatme – director Payments, WhatsApp India.
