Before you begin
As of now, Paytm is the only UPI app that lets you manage your transaction history by tucking away individual payments. Once you hide a payment, it gets taken out of the ‘transaction history’ list and gets moved to a restricted section. Access to this section is only provided after proper authentication. You can verify yourself using Face ID, fingerprint, or device password.
A hidden payment is not completely deleted from the app. While its value may not show up in your monthly expenditure, you can always restore it from the hidden space. The whole process to hide and unhide a payment is seamless and highly intuitive.
