At Google I/O, a new feature was introduced that allows users to ask someone else to pay for a paid app or in-app purchase. This feature involves a button that creates a payment link to be sent to a friend or family member. The link expires after 24 hours and the beneficiary can request a refund within 48 hours of the purchase. Users can share the payment link via email or text message, along with the app name and price.
This feature may come across as desperate to the recipient, as the message will request the payment for the specific app. It is currently available in India and may be expanded to other markets.
