How do I gift a Pro subscription on Android?
It's not currently possible to gift a subscription on Android, but there are some workarounds to accomplish the same goal: gifting a month or a year of Pro to an Android user.
Option 1: Send Google Pay Money via Gmail
When you send Google Pay Money, the recipient can use it to pay for items from the Google Play Store. To do it, follow these steps on your phone:
- Open the Gmail app.
- Draft an email to the Google account email address they use on their phone.
- Tap the attach button and select “Send money.” Enter your payment info when prompted if you haven’t already done so.
- Enter the amount of money the subscription costs.
- Add a memo if you’d like and tap “Done.”
- Send the email.
