Paytm’s 3D Touch app icon on Apple home screen simplifies payments

NEW DELHI: India’s largest mobile commerce platform, Paytm has released a new version of its app for the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. The application supports the 3D Touch feature, which is considered to be one of the most prominent upgrades in the highly anticipated devices from Apple. With 3D Touch, users can do a lot more from the Paytm app icon itself, enhancing one’s propensity to make more cashless transactions quicker and with greater convenience.

The company explained that on pressing the Paytm icon on the home screen, a variety of options pop up such as mobile recharge, Paytm Wallet, track your order and search. It also reveals the Paytm Wallet balance in a single touch. This enables users to transact directly from their home screen without actually opening the application.

Commenting on the introduction Paytm’s spokesperson explained, “The 3D Touch feature on the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus screen enables the highly useful and appealing ‘Pop and Peek’ function for apps. We decided to leverage the ease and smooth usability of this feature by unveiling the new app version for Paytm. The 3D Touch support will certainly augment the stickiness of the app and will lead to greater propensity amongst users to turn to Paytm for making a whole host of quick transactions and payments.”  Widely reviewed as devices offering the smoothest user experience in the world, the Apple iPhone 6S and 6S Plus was officially launched in India on October 16, 2015.
