I do not even let my parents have net/mobile banking bcz online is full of crooks and fraudsters. hey its just me.

Yeah that's my only concern. I'll see if there is a way to setup payment notifications after asking her about it.

You underestimate Indian grandmothers - they are better than the rest of us at using things like WhatsApp to it's fullest.

I never underestimate anyones abilities. its none of my business. if you think letting elderly being taken advantage of by online fraudsters is a good thing or far fetched idea, good luck with that.

You are underestimating the small learning curve, even in case of grandmother. My mom's a grandmom who juts bought a Netflix, Prime and Voot subscription. I now bought her a new fire tv. More importantly, my parents now transact using Phone Pe.

Yes, there are times though when she writes her message on paper, takes it's picture and whatsapps it to me because typing so much takes a lot more time.

Digital payments have really picked up here. His grandmother may use it to pay the vegetable seller, or at any local shop.

They might receive money though.
