Mumbai, November 18, 2025: India’s payment pioneer Paytm has introduced its new ‘Hide Payments’ feature exclusively for consumers as part of its latest app rollout, giving users greater control over their transaction history and enhanced privacy on the platform.
The feature allows users to move selected transactions out of their primary transaction history view, offering a more private and personalised way to manage digital payments. The transactions aren’t deleted or altered and remain fully secure and accessible whenever required, simply tucked away in a separate, protected section. At present, Paytm is the only UPI app to offer this capability to its users.
According to the company, the feature was developed in response to growing user demand for more nuanced privacy options. Many users increasingly manage shared devices, handle sensitive purchases, or prefer a more discreet view of their financial activity. Paytm’s new capability aims to address these evolving needs while maintaining transparency and security.
