To be fair I’d be a bit stumped if it was the first time I’d used Share Tabs from the feed. 
Haha thanks that makes me feel better 
Not sure where else I’d put it though to make it more obvious. I missed it because I wasn’t requesting money in my mind, I was just splitting the cost, though now I say it that makes rather little sense…
It’s a brilliant feature though, I use Splitwise with my friends but have to remember to settle debts after we’ve transferred money. This is all in one 
(though only with other Monzo customers. Working on getting all my friends on board!)
In the intermission between this and the last version, @emmag rolled out “Add notes” to transaction notifications 
(borrowing @16bitkieran’s image 
)
Today’s the day, 2.28.1 has landed 
This update brings many exciting features - including a fan favourite 
… A customisable app icon 
This came and went due to a bug with multitasking back in version 2.19.0 (2.19.1 swiftly arrived to disable the selection)
I’ve gained an icon since the last time 
Now I can see a shiny golden investor icon 
Some other exciting features include:
Snowy app! 
Just give your phone a shake and watch the magic
~~It's a Monzo-ey Christmas 🎅 - #11 by nexusmaniac
Snow was teased but there is none
Opt out of marketing is a new toggle 
The people have spoken and Monzo have added it
A known bug 
Just to head off one known issue: if you’re using Shared Tabs 2.28.0, some of the additions require all members of that tab to be on 2.28.0 (if they’re on Android - they can update at any time, your tab will stay fine, but in the meantime, it’ll look broken for them on 2.27.0).
This won’t affect too many of us (hopefully) Besides, if nothing goes pear shaped, this version will be shipped out to the masses next week 2.27.0 won’t be around for long

This one deserves its own post 
Send Money to Anybody 
This is the entire flow of “Pay Anybody” 
It was very quick and easy to complete.
Once you open the link you’re greeted with the following 
(Right, if you don’t copy the link there’s no way to get back to it 
)
With a new link created… Here’s the retrieval flow 
(Or you can sign up to Monzo)
Very neat feature!

I think the thing I’m impressed by is the marketing toggle given the negative response recently. I hope people will be less grumpy now. Do we know when it goes live?( I’ve got beta channel so I’m not that bothered).
I doubt that Monzo intentionally left it out But I’m also happy that it’s been added - gives people the choice 
(without bothering COps)
The setting resides in “Account -> Profile -> Settings” 
Hope that helps 
I found it easily

Wow, quite a lot of changes there! Loving the ability to change icons.
Have to admit I’m a little disappointed there’s been no update to the payday frequency / day choices in summary view.

I.e. more than “Month” & “4 Weeks”? 
You’d be best off requesting that over here:
Think it’s been mentioned already in the official feedback thread

Yeah, “first Monday of the month”, “last Friday of the month” etc. etc.
As well as weekly, fortnightly and 3 weekly (not that these are ones relevant to me)
I’ve been vocal on that thread already! I was just hoping there would be the surprise of these options being looked at in this latest release

I’m frankly aghast that this vital feature has yet to return this year!

But at least on iOS the Beta colour does seem to match one of the colours in the 
logo:
Do you know if you have to have a certain version of Android to be able to have custom icons?

I’m unsure, it works on the latest version of Android (9) but I can’t say how far back it’ll work 
Which version of Android are you running?
I’m on 8 and it’s working there.
If you’re using a customer launcher (like I do), you may have to do some extra wizardy to get it to work, but if you’re using the standard launcher (home screen app) that shouldn’t be a problem

I didn’t need to re-create my home screen shortcut either. It updated after 30 seconds of me sat at my home screen. I’m on a Galaxy S9 Plus running the Android Pie Beta
Give it a go and report back Hopefully it’ll work for you
