OK, Google, send cash to my friend': Google Assistant lets you use voice to pay back IOUs

Peer-to-peer payment platforms like Venmo, Zelle or Cash App are easy to use -- but you need to avoid scams. Here are some best practices. The Google Assistant can now help you pay back the money you owe a friend. Google announced that starting today you'll be able to send or request money from the contacts on your Android device or iPhone, via a voice command along the lines of "Hey Google, send Janie $15 for lunch today." Similar peer-to-peer functionality will be coming to Google Home or other smart speakers with the Google Assistant in the coming months, Google says.
