WhatsApp: Pay a fee for other users
If a friend has no way to pay the WhatsApp fee, you can pay it to other users. We show you the procedure in our instructions.
WhatsApp: Pay a fee for other users
Paying the WhatsApp fee for other people currently only works in the Android app. The function is not (yet) integrated in the iPhone app. However, you can also pay the fee for an iPhone user using an Android smartphone.
- Tap the button with the three dots in the top right corner of WhatsApp and select the "Settings" there. Alternatively, tap the menu button on your smartphone.
- Under the "Contacts" category you will find the "Pay for a friend" option.
- Tap the "Select contact" button at the top and search for the person in your contact list.
- Now select a term of one to five years and tap the "Google Wallet" or "Send payment link" button.
- You will now be forwarded to the payment process. Pay with either a Google Play gift card, credit card or PayPal. The WhatsApp fee is then paid for the selected person.
