TL;DR
- Google is expanding its “Ask someone to pay” feature for the Play Store.
- Users in the US, Japan, Mexico, and Indonesia will now have access to the feature.
- This option allows you to ask someone outside of your Google family group to pay for a transaction.
Is that new? My play store country is set to India (so I can buy stuff dirt cheap) and that feature has been there as long as I remember.
That is answered in the second paragraph
Indeed. I must have overlooked it, I actually read articles.
How do people use the feature? Since I can’t think of a case where I would use this, aside from a child wanting to buy something without the parent needing to put their credit card details on the kid’s device
No idea really, I’m not Indian.
