Facebook Messenger is about to remove one of the biggest worries from your night out
Keeping track of your money might have just got a little easier thanks to Facebook.
The social network has rolled out a new update to its Messenger app that will allow users to send money to their friends in group chats.
That means that you can now use Messenger to keep track of who still owes you money from that big night out, or who is yet to pitch in for the group birthday present.
The new expansion means you can now send and receive money among groups of your contacts for the first time – all for free.
So whether its splitting a restaurant bill, or paying for a group gift, Messenger now lets you settle all payments within the app without having to resort to arguments.
