Using Bill split in family life
Paying the merchant and settling up between people are separate tasks when someone has paid more than their own share.
Open Review and compare each person’s Share and Paid amounts. Transfers shows the calculated repayment. After checking the bill, use More options → Advanced tools → Lock bill to finalise it. Then tap the relevant transfer after the repayment has taken place outside the app.
