WhatsApp may add new icons to its Android as well as the iOS app. If reports are to be believed, WhatsApp may add a payment shortcut to the chat bar. The new icon had appeared during the beta tests. It is still in its development phase and unclear whether WhatsApp would plan a stable rollout for the same or not. WhatsApp Payment lets users send or receive money on the messaging app. You do not have to download a separate app to send money if you have added your card details to WhatsApp. As per Wabetainfo, WhatsApp is testing a new shortcut to let users send money to their contacts quickly. “WhatsApp is introducing a new shortcut to quickly send payments. Previously you had to open the chat action sheet in order to send payments, instead of WhatsApp is now placing a dedicated button on the chat bar,” the Wabetainfo read. The new addition was spotted on the Android beta build of WhatsApp.
