Know how WhatsApp users can send Payments in India

1
Since the start of year 2020, WhatsApp has been rolling out interesting features to simplify lives of its users. Now the latest development by the Facebook-owned instant messaging app enables its users across India to send money via WhatsApp. Payments on WhatsApp is now available for people on the latest version of the iPhone and Android app. Mind you! This secure payments experience helps WhatsApp users to safely send money to a family member or share the cost of goods from a distance without having to exchange cash in person or going to a local bank. Isn’t this time saving too? In an official blog post, WhatsApp has asserted, “We’re excited to join India’s campaign to increase the ease and use of digital payments, which is helping expand financial inclusion in India.” In collaboration with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) using the Unified Payment Interface (UPI), WhatsApp has designed the payments feature to enable transactions with over 160 supported banks. All that is required to send money on WhatsApp in India, is to have a bank account and debit card in the country. WhatsApp sends instructions to banks, which are also known as payment service providers, to initiate the transfer of money via UPI between sender and receiver bank accounts. It was revealed that WhatsApp will be working with five leading banks in India: ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, the State Bank of India, and Jio Payments Bank. This means that people can send money on WhatsApp to anyone using a UPI supported app. Just like every feature in WhatsApp, payments is designed with a strong set of security and privacy principles, including entering a personal UPI PIN for each payment. In the times ahead, it is likely that the combination of WhatsApp and UPI’s unique architecture can help local organizations deal with some of the key challenges like increasing rural participation in the digital economy and delivering financial services to those who have never had access before. Meanwhile, the Facebook-owned instant messaging app has also introduced the option to use disappearing messages to make conversations feel as close to in-person as possible that means they shouldn’t have to stick around forever. According to WhatsApp, “When disappearing messages is turned on, new messages sent to a chat will disappear after 7 days, helping the conversation feel lighter and more private. In a one-to-one chat, either person can turn disappearing messages on or off. In groups, admins will have the control.” Initially, WhatsApp is starting with 7 days because it believes that it offers peace of mind that conversations aren’t permanent, while remaining practical so that one doesn’t forget what they were chatting about. The shopping list or store address that one receives a few days ago will be there while they need it, and then disappear after they don’t need it anymore. One can send messages that disappear on WhatsApp by enabling disappearing messages. As per a latest blog, “Once enabled, new messages sent in the individual or group chat will disappear after seven days. The most recent selection controls all messages in the chat. This setting won’t affect messages you previously sent or received in the chat. In an individual chat, either user can turn disappearing messages on or off. In a group chat, only group admins can turn disappearing messages on or off.” For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

Oppo Enco W11 earphones review: The best in class TWS earphones

The audio industry in India has been seeing record growth over the past few years. Multiple brands across the world are now offering a premium to budget-end earphones. Thanks to the current situation in the country, increasing dependence on webinars, online meetings, video chats, Zoom calls, etc has surged its boom. As per a report, India is among the topmost smart personal audio markets in Q1, 2020 in APAC with a 23 percent market share. Amidst this, Oppo has launched Enco W11 truly wireless earphones as its budget TWS earbuds that do not cost a fortune (priced at Rs 2,499). The company touts it to deliver an immersive sound effect and superior quality experience. So, let’s find out how much does Oppo live up to its claims in our review of Oppo Enco W11.

In This Article

Design

On opening the box, you will be greeted directly with the earphones case. Other than this you will find manuals and warranty cards and some ear tips of different sizes along with a USB Type C cable. Oppo Enco W11 ships in a pill-shaped glossy white case, which doesn’t look different from the group of other all-black TWS earphones in the market. However, we did like that it attracts fewer smudges, unlike the rest of the pack. We also liked how the earphones don’t just fall off when you open the case. We really shook the unit for them to pop out but they didn’t fall off.  Oppo Enco W11 The lid of the case is solidly attached and closes with a nice snap. The design of the earbuds themselves is also really great complimenting the case. The earphone really stands out with its premium look and feel. Oppo Enco W11 has a touch-sensitive surface so you can single tap to play or pause and double tap on either earbud to change the tracks and triple press for voice assistant. The volume can be controlled by touching or holding the left or right earbud.  Oppo Enco W11 earphones review: The best in class TWS earphones The touch functionality works flawlessly while the comfort of them is also great. These are lightweight for the quality of construction they have. Also, we did not face any issue with keeping them on for long periods thanks to the in-ear design. Over that, the earphones form an excellent seal in the ears which doesn’t just cut out background noise (to a certain degree) but also makes the bass sound more prominent. The earphones do not have any LEDs to indicate the battery level but just like other devices, they do have a small LED on the case that indicates the battery level. This lights up whenever the lid is opened or when one removes the earbuds.

Performance

The Oppo Enco W11 connects with any device with Bluetooth 5.0 or lower. After first connect, these easily connect to your phone by just opening the lid of the case and not after you take them out of the case. This means by the time you wear them, they will be already connected to your phone. You should also know that the Enco W11 is IP55 rated for water and dust ingress protection. This means they can handle more than just a splash of water and this rating is also better than its competition. This also makes them more durable. You also get wear detection with the buds that work just as well. Oppo Enco W11 review Speaking of the battery life, the earphones deliver 5 hours of playback and with the case, you can play them for up to 20 hours. That is great especially considering the size and weight of the case. Before we talk more about the audio quality, let’s talk about specs first. Specs-wise these earphones come with a pair of 8mm dynamic drivers inside each earpiece with AAC support and SBC codecs. These also connect with compatible devices via Bluetooth 5.0.  We recently reviewed Vivo TWS New true wireless earphones which are priced at Rs 5,990 and on comparing them with Oppo Enco W11 we loved the sound on the Oppo. The bass is just perfectly balanced on the Oppo earphones and it does not bleed into a higher frequency range. Moreover, the mids on these are also perfect and the vocals on them sound good too, both while watching movies and listening to music. Highs are a little prominent so there is a slight boost to them that is good in a way as it is not harsh on the ears. So you will never feel you are getting a compromised sound. Also, the bigger ear tips fit well therefore enhancing the whole experience.  review of Oppo Enco W11 Oppo does not have a dedicated companion app where you can tweak a few things like equaliser as per your liking. Also, one more thing that the earphones lack is lower latency so if you are into gaming these will not be the best for you.

Verdict

Overall, we are extremely impressed with these TWS earbuds both in features and in the sound department. Moreover, they are perfect for people looking to get TWS at a lesser price. Even the audiophiles who have a more refined taste in sound would not be disappointed with the Oppo Enco W11.

All of these plans will not include access to Spotify’s premium music subscription. “At Spotify, we routinely conduct a number of surveys in an effort to improve our user experience. Some of those end up paying the path for our broader user experience and others serve only as important learnings,” the spokesperson said. “We have no further news to share on future plans at this time” the company through the survey hinted at this survey to be taken as concrete product plans. This means it is not yet confirmed that Spotify will launch the subscription podcast service and it might also consider launching some sort of subscription podcast plans as reported by the publisher. Apart from this the company recently confirmed that Spotify can now be streamed directly on Apple Watch. So now users will be able to stream music or podcasts on Apple Watch without having to connect to an iPhone. To recall the company was spotted testing the feature in September and now it is being expanded directly to all the users. However, this feature will not be available for offline listening as the Apple Watch still lacks the option of offline listening. With the rollout of the service the users are allowed to access their music library via Wi-Fi or cellular network using the Spotify app on Apple Watch and can listen through Bluetooth devices.
