Split bill options on Google Pay, Paytm, PhonePe
If you’d rather not go through the hassle of installing a separate app for bill-splitting, then you can also alternatively use some of the existing UPI payment apps on your phone for the same.
Google Pay lets you use contacts to create a group, select a transaction, and send splitting requests. Paytm makes it easy to enter the amount, purpose, contacts, and send prompts to divide an expense. Similarly, PhonePe allows picking contacts, notifying them of what they owe, and handling repayments. While they lack extensive tracking features, these payment apps still offer a quick and easy way to split bills on the go.
