  • Split the Bill, cannot include yourself

What is the point of the Split option when you open a payment in the event list? If I click on it, and want to split the bill with my friend, the only thing I can do is to send him a request for the whole amount.

Ok, so there is an option to select multiple recipients for this payment request, and then the amount is indeed split between the recipients. However - you cannot include yourself, so in the end this feature is not really working, at least the way I imagined it would.

Am I missing something?

    @Dennis#43741 When I select multiple people, I can select my self (or at least any of my accounts). In the next screen you can edit the shares.

    This is what I do: select a payment, then choose split, then Multiple People, then I get a list with al my contacts and on top you can choose my accounts to select an account of myself.

      @JeroenE#43744 I can choose my own account, but then I get an error that the sending and receiving account can't be the same.

      I'm in Android. Are you seeing something different?

        @Dennis#43762 Ah, I see. I have android and when you do that it says "this account is one of the recipients" and I can't continue. If I select another account (from me, but just not the one where the payment was made) then it works. That is what I did before.

        If you want the account where you paid from to be the one in the split this does not seem to work :(

          Maybe I understand the question wrong, but when I go to split and choose a person on iOS, I have that person and myself..

            @Dennis#43741 Hey 👋

            When you split the bill, you should always be one of the recipients when splitting a payment (regardless of whether you select multiple people or not).

            I can't reproduce this myself on the latest version of the Android app, it always includes me when I do a split.

            Would you mind taking a screen recording of the flow you're seeing when you do a split, and sending it through Private Matters? That will help me investigate this more.

            Cheers,
            Tom

              @Tom#43774 All right Tom, I'll do that
