Google Pay has been quick in gaining ground ever since it was launched in India in September 2017 as Tez — rebranded to the current name in August 2018 — and is now one of the more popular mobile wallet apps in India, USA and several other marketsÂ
Like other online payment platforms, Google Pay also provides transaction history of payments made through the app. For whatever reason, if you wish to get rid of the transaction history on Google Pay, we’ve got you covered.Â
Google Pay lets you delete the transaction history permanently via its website barring UPI based transactions. Tapping on the message to delete it in the Google Pay mobile app will only delete the conversation and not the history of your account.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to delete transaction history on Google Pay.
