So, how to use this facility? Let us have a look.
Concealment
A boon for those who want to maintain privacy
The 'Hide Payment' feature has been designed for users who want to keep some transactions private. This could be for surprises, personal expenses, or sensitive purchases that they don't want others to see.
Even if you hide these transactions from view, you can still access your full transaction record when needed.
Paytm stresses this feature provides flexibility without compromising security, giving users freedom to hide/unhide payments at will.
Steps
How to use the facility?
To hide a transaction in Paytm, users have to head over to 'Balance & History.'
Here, they can swipe left on the payment they want to hide and press 'Hide.'
A confirmation prompt will appear where users have to select 'Yes.'
To unhide hidden payments, users have to head back to 'Balance & History,' tap the three-dot icon next to 'Payment History,' select 'View Hidden Payments,' authenticate with PIN, swipe left on the hidden transaction, and tap on 'Unhide.'
