In many countries, paying for things using mobile phone (Cellphone) apps is becoming increasingly common. Does this development have more advantages or more disadvantages?
In numerous nations, paying for things using mobile phone applications is becoming more and more common.
Although
people can face internet
problems, I believe that there are more benefits because it is very convenient for them to use it.
The advantages of using mobile apps
for payment
is that it is convenient. In other words
, human beings do not have to carry cash, credit cards or exact change to buy products and can pay the money using a single tap, reducing the risk of loss or theft of cards as well as liquidity. Moreover
, these apps
are secure as they have certain secure codes or encryption to protect personal information. For example
, The Times Now recently stated that approximately 43% of Indian people use Google pay for making any payments because of the convenience. As these apps
are secure and easy to use, I'm of my opinion that using apps
for payment
has more advantages.
One of the disadvantages is that it requires the internet
. As these apps
require internet
connectivity to function payments smoothly, a person cannot make any payment
if he/she has any internet
connections problem. Additionally
, transactions can also
fail if the bank serves are down. For instance
, many people in India who uses PayPal or Paytm sometimes cannot make transactions due to network problems. However
, I believe that internet
issues are temporary but can hamper the process if such
problems are consistent.
In conclusion, although
human beings might face internet
connectivity issues, using applications for payment
is much more convenient. For this
reason, the positives far outnumber these negatives.Submitted by IELTS on
