Get Help from Loved Ones: Google Enables Android Users to Request App Payments

At Google I/O this month, a new feature was introduced that allows Android users to ask someone else to pay for a paid app or in-app purchase. Here’s what you need to know:

– The new button appears during checkout for paid apps or in-app purchases.
– You can send a payment link via text or email to a friend or family member.
– The payment link expires after 24 hours and requires the payer to know your email address.
– The payer can request a refund within 48 hours of the purchase.

Using this feature might make you sound desperate, but it can be useful if you’re short on cash. Here’s how it works:

– Share the payment link through email or text using the share sheet.
– The message includes the app name and price, making it clear what they’re paying for.
– The recipient will receive a message asking them to pay for the app through Google Pay.

This feature is currently available in India and may expand to other markets soon. Would you use this feature? Let us know your thoughts!
