A group holds the expenses you share with a specific set of people.
Create a group
Go to the Groups tab and tap + (or New group).
Enter a name (e.g. "Hunza Trip", "Flat E-11").
Pick a type (Trip, Roommates, Friends, Family, Office…).
Choose the currency for the group.
(Optional) Set a budget to get a progress tracker.
Add members now, or invite them later.
Tap Create group.
Group currency (important)
You choose a group's currency when you create it, and it cannot be changed afterward. This keeps every balance consistent and avoids mixing currencies in one tally. If you need a different currency, create a new group. Scanning a receipt only fills in the amount — it never changes the group's currency.
Inviting members
People already on EconoGlance — add them directly when creating or editing the group.
New people — invite them by QR code or link from Group settings → QR invite.
Invited (or Splitwise-imported) people appear as pending members — shown dimmed with an Invite button. They still count in splits and balances, and join the group automatically once they accept.
Group cover photo
Add up to five cover photos from Group settings → Cover photos. They appear behind the balance card as a swipeable carousel with a subtle dark overlay so the text stays readable.
Group settings
From a group, tap ••• → Group settings to rename, toggle Simplify debts, set a budget, QR invite members, or delete the group.
