No Need to Search QR Scanner: PhonePe Adds ‘Shake & Scan’ for Instant UPI Payments

There are times when we have to make payments quickly, but it takes a lot of time to open the UPI app, navigate to the QR scan option, and complete all the processes. This is more challenging for users who do not have the UPI app on their home screen due to security reasons. Now, with this new feature, users can simply shake their phone to open the QR code scanner and make payments.

Shake & Pay is a new feature that helps users initiate a payment simply by shaking their phone. Users do not have to open the UPI app and look for the QR scan option. All they have to do is shake their phone as they do while saying goodbye. The scanner will then open immediately, allowing you to make your payment.

This feature is currently available in the PhonePe app. If you've enabled this feature, shaking your phone after opening the app will immediately open the QR code scanner screen. This makes making payments at shops, restaurants, or anywhere faster and easier than ever.
