Facebook now allows you to send and receive money through Facebook Messenger in group chats on Androids and desktops, the company announced Tuesday.

Facebook first introduced payments in 2015, but was limited to two people. The feature is currently available for free in the U.S. for Android and desktop users. The new feature will compete with other apps that allow for payments, such as Venmo, PayPal, Gmail and Square Cash. However, Facebook could be easier for people, since they already use the app to communicate with others.
