Hmmm.. thanks, auto topup is nice. It seems NPCI increased the lite limit to 5000 but GPay and BHIM both show 2000 still. Will wait until they update it because 2000 is too low.
I had seen it first on the Tata Neu iOS app a month or two ago and it opens the interface to complete the payment. However, haven't had an opportunity to try it yet.
I suppose Apple is allowing the NFC chip to read content which in this case is the UPI ID stored in the NFC tag. However, actual payment over NFC is yet to be made available.
I use Niagara and I've set up the right bottom icon to open GPay's QR Scanner when I drag it a bit (tapping opens camera, also what I set). Fast enough for me, with face unlock opening the phone.
Also, I've tap to pay setup, so GPay icon is pinned on my home screen too. Open it, scan fingerprint and tap to pay. Pretty lovely!
I've been thinking of what is the fastest way to take the phone out of your pocket and make a UPI payment. Is there a way to directly launch the QR scanner of GPay or BHIM? I checked nova activity widget but neither app seems to have that as an activity. Just some useless stuff.
My Moto phone has the gesture to double tap the back of the phone to launch an app. Is there a UPI scanner app separately that can scan a QR for me and offer me to choose from the UPI apps on my phone?? I will be able to use that app with the gesture to get something pretty fast then.
Also open to hearing if your phone OEM has a better way of doing this.
