One 97 Communications Limited on Tuesday rolled out a new ‘Hide Payments’ feature for the Paytm app. As the name suggests, it allows users to move certain transactions out of the primary view. The company said that it makes it easier to manage shared devices, handle sensitive purchases, and get a discreet view of the financial activity. The feature is claimed to have been developed in response to growing user demand for more nuanced privacy options.
