Open attachment while splitting ( + calculator)

Tobi-H

I have the following feature request:

Since update 8, it’s possible to attach pictures to payments. This is quite handy for a night out with friends, when you take the bill, you just take a photo of it!
But when I then want to split the payment amongst friends, I click the „split“ button, then I choose recipients, and only then I will type the amounts. But I can’t see the attachment/invoice from here! If I want to see it, I need to go all the way bactok, but then everything I have filled is gone again. (Or I have to open it in a third party app and switch apps)

So it would be nice if we had access to the attachment while splitting!

And in this use case also convenient: having the little calculator while typing the split amounts (just like in ordinary requests), so I don’t have bother my head or yet another 3rd party app 😃

What do you guys think??

Sounds quite tricky to have an image and a calculator and the possibility to enter the amounts, all on one little phone screen.

Petervdv 🏳️‍🌈 Hi Peter,
I didn’t want to have it as full picture, but that you can open it by clicking, which makes it open in full screen (just like it does now).. then you see the amounts, close it, type.. open it again if needed.. I mean, that’s what I do right now, but the picture is in my phone‘s gallery (and I have to switch apps)..

For the calculator, it might be tricky to get the calculation on the screen, but the calculator options are anyway there above the keyboard, for a normal request

i don't think that there is a nice solution for your use-case, which could be implemented into the bunq app 🤔. What might be possible is downloading or screenshotting the attachment and then using your phone image gallery for multitasking between the image and the splitting screen. Or just use the classic post-it note.. 😉

Jan Brodda Multitasking is what I do now 🙂
But since I take the picture from within the bunq app, it isn’t in my gallery right away. I need to duplicate (screenshot or „share“) it first. I want to avoid that step. As I said also to Peter: the picture doesn’t need to be visible while splitting. I just need access to it somehow (maybe via click and layover, how it also works now within the transaction itself), without losing my input.

The solution could also be to habe a button to view the transaction itself once more while splitting and accessing the picture then from there. Right now, you have to go all the way back and lose recipients and typed amounts on the way
