WhatsApp declared that Brazilian users will now be able to include a pix key on their platform profile, as stated in the announcement released by the communication advisory on Thursday (19).
The button will appear beneath the person’s photo in their profile for easier access.
Thus, individuals, especially service providers, can provide access to the key and make it easier to enter. This means you won’t always have to be present for friends and family.
The new feature will be implemented for initial users this week and will become accessible to all users by the end of January 2025.
