Hike messenger 5.0 gets UPI and wallet support and revamps UI with themes support

Hike Messenger has introduced wallet service through its latest app update. With UPI support enabled in Hike 5.0, users can now do free and instant bank-to-bank transfers with their friends.It has partnered with YES Bank for its UPI and wallet service..
The key features of Hike Wallet are:
  • With Unified Payments Interface (UPI) support enabled in Hike 5.0, users can now do free and instant bank-to-bank transfers with their friends. What’s exciting is that this works even if their friends aren't on Hike. 
  • For those who don’t actively use a bank account, Hike still allows you to send and receive money with your friends through the Wallet. 
  • A Blue Packet is simply a beautifully designed envelope that users can insert money into and send to their friends. Users can choose from over 10 different beautifully crafted envelopes and also add a personalised message to it to celebrate those special occasions. A Blue Packet can be sent to an individual or even a group of friends. If you give Blue Packets to a group of your friends, you can have a little fun and select how many people in the group should get it. It works on a first come first serve basis and a Blue Packet when sent expires in 24 hours! 
  • With the new Hike 5.0, users can now recharge their phones and pay their postpaid bill right from the app. This removes the need to have one more app just for paying mobile bills, thereby saving space on their phone and removing the need for them to add yet another app.
Revamped User Interface:



The company says Hike Messenger now has brand new colours and fonts. Moods can now be set as profile photos, while the old Timeline feature has made a return, and in addition to disappearing Stories, users can now post text, photos, and videos on their timeline that stay forever. Likes on posts can now be expanded to see the people who have liked it.


Other new features of Hike 5.0 include the Magic Selfie (machine learning based beautification feature), Text to Stickers (supported by all regional languages), App Themes (such as Blue, Zen, Night), Chat Themes, and Auto Night Mode. Hike also says that multiple likes are now possible on a single post by a single user.

Finally Encrypted:
Hike has also reduced the app size to just 25MB despite adding all these features and has also added 128-bit SSL encryption that ensures that communication across the air and wire networks, is completely encrypted.
