Apple seems to be working silently on a big update for Indian users. According to recent reports, the company is testing UPI integration inside iPhones, a move that could transform the way millions of users make digital payments.
Why This Matters for iPhone Users
Until now, iPhone owners in India relied on third-party apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm to use UPI. If Apple adds native UPI support, payments could become as simple as using Apple Pay, but directly linked with India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) system.
Early Tests Already Spotted
Industry insiders suggest Apple is running pilot tests quietly with select users and partner banks. The move comes at a time when digital payments in India are at an all-time high, with UPI crossing 14 billion monthly transactions recently.
When Will It Launch?
Apple has not made any official announcement yet. However, experts believe the feature may debut with upcoming iOS updates, giving iPhone users in India a seamless, secure, and fast way to send money — without relying on extra apps.
Big Boost for Digital India
If this rollout happens, Apple could strengthen its position in the Indian market by directly supporting the payment system most widely used in the country. For users, this means one less app to install and smoother UPI transactions right from the iPhone’s wallet.
