Google testing new app in India which lets users make money by doing simple tasks

Google is testing a new app in India which will let users earn money by doing simple tasks on their smartphones. Called the Task Mate, the app will provide access to a variety of tasks, posted by businesses from around the world. These include things like clicking a picture of a restaurant, answering survey questions about personal preferences, or helping translate sentences from English to other languages.  

The beta version of the app has been rolled out and is limited to selected testers through a referral code system. Users will be paid in local currency for the tasks that they complete.  

The public roll out should not be far away as the app is already available on Google Play Store for download. For now, only people with a referral code can use it. The code is available through invite only. 

“Task Mate is a beta app made by Google that provides access to a variety of simple tasks, posted by businesses around the world. For example, take a photo of a nearby restaurant, answer survey questions about your preferences, or help translate sentences from English to your local language. You can participate in tasks that you are interested in, or choose to skip tasks. Tasks can be completed any time, from anywhere,” the app description reads.  

It adds that to encash the winning, you need to register with an e-wallet or payment partner. 

“You will be paid in local currency for the tasks that you complete accurately and you will need an account with a third party payments processor. When you’re ready to cash out, simply register your e-wallet or account with our payment partner in our app, then visit your profile page and hit the “cash out” button. You can then withdraw your earnings in your local currency,” it said.
