Google Pay, a widely used UPI-based payment solution in India, simplifies daily transactions for millions of users. However, this convenience comes with the trade-off of Google Pay retaining your transaction history. While some users may appreciate having their financial records handy, others may feel uneasy about their data being stored.
Whether it’s for privacy reasons or just decluttering your digital life, many users seek to erase their transaction history. Thankfully, Google Pay offers a straightforward way to delete your transaction records. In this guide, we’ll walk you through a couple of methods, both via the mobile app and desktop, to wipe your Google Pay transaction history clean.
