How to share an invoice with friends using Facebook Messenger
This page was translated using AI and machine learning.
(Pocket-lint) – Meta introduced a new split bill feature, called Split Payment, in Facebook Messenger.
The company is testing the feature in the US that should make it easier for Messenger users to share a utility bill with roommates, for example, or share a restaurant or bar with friends. You will be able to ask people for money directly in a group chat and even see who paid their share.
“If you’ve struggled to split up (and get reimbursed for) group dinners, shared household expenses, or even monthly rent, it’s about to get easier,” Meta explained in a blog post. “We are starting to test Split Payments, a free and fast way to share the cost of bills and expenses.”
How split payment works in Messenger
Associate a payment method
Each person in the group chat must have a payment method linked to their account to send or receive money. If you already have a linked payment method, any money sent to you is transferred immediately, although it may take up to 3 to 5 business days for your payment provider to send the money to your account.
