Google has removed the option to close your GPay account in India on iOS devices. Customer support confirmed that you cannot delete a GPay account anymore. All your transaction history cannot be wiped from Google services which was possible previously. The only way to do that is delete your entire Google account.
who cares? how often do you need to close your gpay account? maybe like a once in a decade or few years kind of thing. just get a new credit card and move on. not everything needs to be an outrage.
They did allow it previously. They no longer do. I wanted to close it because I don’t want people to find me on GPay and make payments or ask to. It’s become inconvenient as I use a different UPI method. Just because a few don’t care doesn’t mean everyone else shouldn’t either. And any privacy policy must include as a good practice to be able to delete the account as well.
