Monzo for Android - Teardowns & Deep Dives 👨‍💻

Version: 2.40.0 :tada:

Changes:

<string name="affordability_eligible_message">You can get a loan up to %1$s</string>
<string name="affordability_eligible_primary_button">Choose your loan</string>
<string name="affordability_eligible_title">All good</string>

Some extra messages ‘somewhere’ when you’re eligible for a Monzo loan :money_mouth_face:

<string name="bill_split_empty_state_body">Split a bill with one or more people in a few taps, whether they’re on Monzo or not.</string>
<string name="bill_split_empty_state_title">Split the bill</string>
<string name="bill_split_intro_body">Introducing a new way to easily split payments with your friends. Select a payment from your home screen and choose the people you want to split it with even if they don’t have Monzo.</string>
<string name="bill_split_intro_bullet_1">Pick the payment you want to split</string>
<string name="bill_split_intro_bullet_2">Find any of your contacts on Monzo or people nearby</string>
<string name="bill_split_intro_bullet_3">Split the bill equally, or manually edit if you owe different amounts</string>
<string name="bill_split_intro_bullet_4">We’ll send a request to pay you. Once they’ve paid, we’ll tell you.</string>

Extra bill split wording :eyes: I re-installed the app to see if I’d see this new prompt but I didn’t :frowning: it looks like it could replace the help screen text (eventually?)

<string name="external_cards_onboarding_amex_connected">Amex is now connected</string>
VS
<string name="external_cards_onboarding_card_connected">"We've connected your card"</string>

(Old first, new second) :slight_smile:
The wording is no longer limited to Amex :wink: we knew that other cards would be integrated in the future (Amex is just first), this backs that up :sunglasses:

<string name="pending_bill_split_subheading">Waiting for payments</string>

This is an interesting string :star:
Looks like the Android app might, one day, get a section for pending bill splits! :slight_smile: Making it that little bit easier to see which of your friends still owe you for lunch :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

<string name="shared_section_header_pending_payment_requests">Bill splits</string>
<string name="shared_section_header_shared_tabs">Shared tabs</string>
<string name="shared_section_item_no_payment_requests">None at the moment.</string>

This looks very promising! :grin::point_up:
@Peter_G, are you seeing anything around bill splits on your shiny new payments screen? :eyes:

<string name="shared_tab_empty_state_body">From holidays with your friends to household bills. Keeping track of payments is a pain. So we’ve created Shared Tabs to make it a whole lot easier.</string>
<string name="shared_tab_empty_state_title">Shared tabs</string>

<string name="shared_tabs_intro_body">From holidays with friends to household bills, keeping track of ongoing payments is a pain. So we’ve created Shared Tabs to make it a whole lot easier.</string>
<string name="shared_tabs_intro_bullet_1">Set up a Tab with as many people as you like</string>
<string name="shared_tabs_intro_bullet_2">Add payments to split as you go</string>
<string name="shared_tabs_intro_bullet_3">Settle up in a few taps when you’re ready</string>
<string name="shared_tabs_intro_bullet_4">Easily see who’s paid what</string>
<string name="shared_tabs_intro_button">Create a Shared Tab</string>
<string name="shared_tabs_intro_title">Shared Tabs</string>

A nice extra bit of wording explaining shared tabs :slight_smile: Always good to know more about features if it’s the first time using them :smiley:


Deep Links:

<string name="deep_link_monzo_plus_signup">monzo_plus_signup</string>

Just one additional deep link this time :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: monzo://monzo_plus_signup
It currently brings you to this screen :sweat_smile:

(I’m still waiting for it to load :rofl:)

AGAIN! :joy: Hopefully the 3rd time is the charm :wink:


Feature Flags:

No feature_flags this week :sob: I’m not rooted now that I’m on Android Q… There’s no way for me to access the super secret feature_flags file :frowning:


Other exciting things :tada:

I can’t offer feature_flags but I can tell you that Monzo Plus is becoming even more of a reality :tada:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
    <item android:id="@id/purchase_monzo_plus_toolbar_action_next" android:visible="false" android:title="@string/purchase_monzo_plus_toolbar_action_next" app:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>

This XML file is called menu_pick_your_card.xml - which leads me to believe that production of Monzo Plus cards has been sorted / is super mega close :grin:
Hopefully anybody who’s offered a Monzo Plus ‘thing’ will be able to pick their custom card colour in the not too distant future :blush:

More posts to follow… Stay tuned :wink:
