WhatsApp – UPI Lite With Automatic Top-Ups
As per the details shared by tipster Abhishek Yadav, strings concerning this feature have been found in the ‘classes.dex’ code of WhatsApp’s stable version ‘2.26.42.74’, which reveals that users will be able to set up a top-up amount and a balance threshold for triggering an automatic top-up.
Speaking more, the strings suggest that users will be able to set up, pause, resume, and cancel automatic top-ups.
About its limits, one of the labels indicates that the top-up amount cannot exceed the authorised mandate amount. An automatic top-up will also be skipped if the daily limit has been reached or if adding the amount would exceed the UPI Lite wallet’s balance limit. Again, this limit will likely be set up by the user only.
Moreover, the code includes a condition to skip automatic top-ups if no UPI Lite wallet handle exists for the linked payment service provider.
These code references suggest that WhatsApp is preparing the feature, and more details regarding this feature are expected soon.
Stay tuned for more updates!
