The service has brought WhatsApp closer to its goal of becoming a super app, especially in India, where it has more than 400 million users. WhatsApp earlier introduced its payment service in Brazil but soon suspended.

Previously Launched in Brazil

The service was launched there in June, but a few days later Brazil’s central bank suspended WhatsApp payments in the country.

After India, Brazil has the largest number of WhatsApp users. According to Facebook, this feature will gradually be available to all users.
