Shared tab - be able to charge 100% of a charge to other people in the group

Hi,
I find it frustrating that I can’t add a charge I made on behalf of someone in a shared tab and need to send a payment request instead.
For example, my roommate is sick and I did his groceries. I still see this as a charge for our roommates shared tab, but I can’t add it as I would have to split the charge between the two of us.
Why not just send a payment request? Well, that partly solves the issue, but I prefer to see all the household charges under the shared tab, and my balance might be low in the shared tab so is a way to bring my balance up.
There is another feedback. I can’t track the payment requests I have sent either, so if someone takes really long to pay, I might forget about it. The shared tab is easier to document this.
Hope you can make this work! Other expense sharing / tracking apps allow for this.

Can you not adjust the value next to the person by tapping the ‘+’ so that they pay the full amount?

This only works beyond a threshold. For smaller charges the +/- buttons are disabled.
If as well, I want to charge two people for something, and exclude myself, I am unable to do so. It should be easier to select who paid and who owes and how much.
It feels really ‘buggy’

Just tested it on my shared tab…

100% of the bill is now payable to the other person. I can even tap into the amount and adjust the figure manually :confused:

for me it doesn’t work for charges below 15 pounds, the buttons are disabled. And often those charges are below that amount :slight_smile:

It works with any amount… I can even charge a penny to myself if I wanted.

I don’t think it’s wise to compare apps that tackle the bill sharing concept as their one and only function against a banking app that has it as a feature.

As @Ordog says, you should be able to tap on the amount and manually change it, rather than relying on the plus/minus buttons…?

maybe is a bug on iOS then

Possibly. Is your app fully up to date?

are you able to charge two people and not yourself?

Yes, I can split the amount however I like.

and yes it has the latest update

I do think Monzo places a big focus on the sharing aspect though, so I think it should work well :slight_smile: I only got a Monzo account to use the shared tab hehe

and yes, tried with manually tapping, but any editing is disabled for amounts below 15 pounds.

maybe you need a delete and reinstall of the app to get what ordog has :-)…welcome to the community forum :+1:

Ahhh a lovely parity issue then or a bug?

Assume it must have worked at some point?

I look forward to another parity war.

works for me on iOS
