How to Split the Bill Using Google Pay and Get Your Fair Share

Managing expenses with friends, colleagues, or family has become easier with Google Pay’s built-in bill-splitting feature. Until recently, users needed third-party apps or manual calculations to share costs fairly. Now, with a few taps, you can divide expenses and receive payments seamlessly through Google Pay. Here’s how to set up and use the feature efficiently.

Google Pay’s bill-splitting feature is available on both Android and iOS devices. Ensure you have the latest version of the app installed and follow these steps:

1. Open Google Pay: Launch the Google Pay app and sign in if necessary.
2. Create a Group: Tap on “Split an expense” or create a new group under the “Groups” section.
3. Add Members: Select contacts from your Google Pay list or invite them via phone numbers.

Once your group is set up, splitting a bill is simple:

1. Enter the Total Amount: Tap on “Split an Expense” and enter the total bill amount.
