Paytm's custom VPA is back

[techprince]

There is a new option Personalise UPI ID available under All UPI services. I am able to activate my old custom VPA for YES bank and AXIS bank as of now.

Please check your UPI settings and see if you can add/re-enable custom VPAs even if you don't have Personalise UPI ID/SuperPowers/Whats New option.

Edit: Paytm has once again, enabled Edited VPAs. We are no longer restricted to just selected VPAs.

Many apps are shifting to suggested VPAs instead of purely custom VPAs mainly to reduce impersonation and frauds. Yes Pay Next, Super Money, even ICICI disabled edited VPAs.

Well, I randomly opened my Paytm app today and surprisingly found this option where they gave me a lot of custom ids to choose from - I went ahead with “mylastname+last3digitsofmobno.@ptaxis”

Which ones have Custome VPAs now? Or is it possible to create one with a slightly older App Version?

I saw a video of BHIM UPI but the same "edit / change" does not show up on my iOS iPhone App.

ABCD is a UPI App? Which are Etc?

Not sure about IOS, works fine in Android, yes ABCD is an upi app. Search for it, you will find many.
