Facebook’s Messenger app is soon getting a new Split Payments feature. The feature will allow users to divide the expenses between friends so that paying or getting paid back is easier than ever. Payments will then be processed via Facebook Pay to make things even simpler. Here are all the details about this new feature.
The new Spilt Payments feature is termed as “a free and fast way to share the cost of bills and expenses.” It will roll out for the users in the US, starting next week. There’s no word on whether or not it will be available for users in other countries.
For this, users will have to move to the Payments option in a chat window, tap on the “Get Started” option, divide the expenses as per the need (it could either be split equally or as per a person’s choice), possibly add a message, enter the required Facebook Pay credentials, and the request will be sent to the group members. This split bill request can be viewed in the group chat.
Lastly, Facebook Messenger has also introduced new Stranger Things-themed and Taylor Swift-inspired Soundmojis. Soundmojis are sound-based emojis you can send to your friends for more fun and interactive conversations.
