How to Use Facebook Messenger Split Payments: Here's a Quick Guide Before It Arrives! Similar Apps You Can Try

Facebook Messenger users would soon benefit from a new advanced feature that would allow them to split their bills whenever they hang out.

The new Split Payments feature will definitely come in handy if you and your friends are always sharing the bill when eating outside, visiting amusement parks, or just having a mini-staycation.

"We're starting to test Split Payments, a free and fast way to share the cost of bills and expenses," said Meta via its official blog post.

As of the moment, Meta is quite busy enhancing Facebook and its other products. TechTimes reported that 500 misinformation Facebook accounts were removed from the platform.

How to Use Facebook Messenger Split Payments

Meta has been seen making efforts to solve the alleged toxic environment of Facebook and Instagram. However, the tech giant firm also tries to enhance its platforms' tools so that consumers can further enjoy them more.

According to Gadgets 360's latest report, the new Split Payments feature would be launched in the United States, making Americans the first lucky consumers to use the new Messenger function.

To use this feature, Meta explained that you need to click the "Get Started" option, which is offered in your group chat or the Payments Hub.

Once you are done with that, you can now divide the bill or modify your friends' contributions. After that, you must enter your Facebook Pay details.

You will then receive a request, which can be viewed in your group chat, allowing other members to see the details.
