How to split a bill on Google Pay

Consider a situation where you and your friend have decided to pay individually for a party. Nevertheless, paying individual contributions to the same merchant does not seem feasible. To address such situations, Google Pay introduced a nifty feature called split bills. The purpose of this is to create a group of people with whom you can hang out.

As a result, when you pay the entire bill on behalf of all group members, you can split and share that bill with them as an individual contribution. Meanwhile, you need to create a group of people and split the bill between those members. But I know you don’t know how to do it.
