As of December last year, Google reported that the app was adopted by over 12 million users and had processed approximately 140 million transactions.

The feature, which is in its initial stage of deployment, will allow users to communicate with their contacts while sending or requesting money from them.

The main purpose of the feature is to facilitate any transaction related communication between Tez users.

In order to start a chat, the Tez app now has a dedicated chat button which located next to the Pay and Request buttons.

Additionally, users will be allowed to block a particular contact or disable a thread, if need be.

Domestic payments major, Paytm, also launched a dedicated chat platform called Inbox late last year.

The new chat feature will help Tez compete with WhatsApp and Paytm, both of which already have a large user base in the country.

The feature is currently in its initial rollout phase and is expected to reach all Tez users in the following weeks.

Various apps are now being used to pay for multiple products and services, and Google Pay (Tez) is just one of the contenders.

The advantage of using Google Pay (Tez) is, of course, the fact that it should work flawlessly on Android.

Users connect their Google Pay to the bank account, and they dont need to worry about losing their wallet.

The application makes use of NPCIs (National Payments Corporation of India) BHIM Unified Payments Interface (BHIM UPI), and its useful for any type of bills, not to mention that the service can be used to transfer money to people nearby, without having to share personal information.
