While Google Pay users could pay or request money from a friend through Google Pay Send, the feature was only available on the Web; but now, Google is rolling out support for peer-to-peer payment on the Google Pay app.
The company had recently-branded its payment services under one umbrella, Google Pay, and most of the different features are gradually been bundled into the payment tool, with several updates announced earlier in the year.
The extension of support for peer-to-peer payment on mobile app, makes it more easier for friends to split bills and especially handy as the smartphone is always in the pocket — while on the go, you can tap on the purchase and then request to split payment between up to five friends.
Google Pay's Passes Tab feature, however is restricted to Android, but Google promises eventual support on all platforms, with the aim to make it easier for users to manage all their payment information across the different platforms.
Also, the ability to save mobile tickets and boarding passes is coming to the mobile app, which feature is equally available in the new Passes tab, including support for loyalty cards and gift cards. Additionally, Ticketmaster and Southwest will be supported, with support for Eventbrite, Singapore Airlines and Vueling still in the works.
Google is working on extending support for more ticketing partners, and to expand the Google Pay app support to more countries.
