The latest security feature is a much-needed addition as it successfully addresses a significant vulnerability of the Paytm app. However, it may not have any value for advanced users who have already been using their smartphone’s built-in app-lock to secure sensitive applications. For the users who are not so much expert in the Android ecosystem, I am providing a step by step guide on how to use the newly launched feature.

How to use the New Security Feature in your Paytm Wallet App?

Please note that to use this new feature, it is mandatory that you already have a lock screen password for your Android device. If you don’t have this, go to Settings > Security > Screen Lock and then choose your desired Screen Lock. You may select any one between PIN, fingerprint, password or pattern to secure your mobile. After you are done with this, proceed through the steps mentioned below to turn on App lock in your Paytm app.
