Google Pay will soon make group payments easier for Indian users with Bill Split feature
Late last year, Google introduced two new features in the international version of Google Pay to make group payments easier to manage – Groups and Bill Split. The Groups feature then entered the Indian version of Google Pay earlier this year. Now, Google has announced that it will soon release the Bill Split feature in the region.
At its annual Google for India event, Google’s Ambarish Kenghe stated that Google Pay users in India will soon be able to split bills with friends. The feature will allow users to add friends or family members to group chat in Google Pay and add to the common costs they wish to isolate themselves from other members.
As per the shared info by Google India Twitter, the new “Split costs” button is at the bottom of the categories in Google Pay. Tapping on it will open a new window, where users can add group costs and separate them between members.
Earlier this year, we launched Groups on @GooglePayIndia. We will soon be adding a new feature to make Groups even more useful with Bill Split!
Hear @kenghe talk about this at the #GoogleForIndia livestream.

Once that is done, users will see the Separation Bill in the group discussion with the total number, a progress bar indicating the number of participants who have transferred their assignment, and the remaining amount.
At this time, Google has not shared a specific timeline for the release of this feature. But we expect it to be released to users in the coming days. We’ll make sure to let you know as soon as the feature starts to come out.
Along with Bill Split, Google Pay of India also received support for direct banking voice commands and a new MyShop tool to help small businesses build a storefront app.

Google is testing a new way to share and forward texts and chats from Messages for Android that is a Conversation Picker feature. Instead of a pop-up window, you will see a full-screen page where you can choose who to send the message to.
Users can search for a contact or choose one from the list of recent conversations. In addition, they can view the last message in each conversation to help them make a decision as well as select multiple recipients and tap Next to proceed to the chat screen.
The new page also shows all your contacts below the recent conversations. However, it does not show their phone numbers, which might be confusing if users have multiple entries for the same person.
