How group expense tracking works

A shared expense history instead of scattered messages

One person pays for the hotel, another covers the taxi, and someone else buys museum tickets. Those costs appear together in the Expenses tab so the group can see the same record instead of comparing notes later.

Choose the right split for each expense

Not every cost belongs to everyone. Add a taxi for four people without charging the two who walked. Record a meal as a regular expense when only the total matters and select only the diners involved. If you need to split an itemized restaurant receipt, use the Bills tab and Add Bill.

Bring an itemized restaurant bill into the trip

When the cost is an itemized restaurant receipt, use the restaurant receipt flow for the itemized split, including tax and tip. Then open the Bills tab on the trip and tap Add Bill.
