Allow group admin to delay notifications until after all bills are added
There's a lot of confusion when people start adding bills and the numbers owed keep changing. It would be better if we could all add our bills for a trip and then once that is complete, trigger the notifications. No need to get so many texts until a trip is all tallied.

Sorry for the trouble! We generally try to send notifications for expenses as soon as things happen, as most groups (apartments, etc) are used slowly over long periods of time, but I can see how this’d be useful in cases like yours.

There should be a way to allow people to add bills/expenses into a particular group, without notifying the group members, nor telling them to pay.
If you have a large group of people, each with some expenses, they can sometimes take several days to add them all to Splitwise. Those who are unfamiliar with the system will be tempted to pay right away, even before all expenses are in. 'Simplify debts' helps with this a bit, but sometimes people will be left ending up owing additional money and are confused as to why they are paying multiple people in such small amounts.
This would be a huge advantage for me and my group of friends. We frequently use Splitwise to track expenses for trips, parties, etc - and sometimes people pay too soon, or people are annoyed constantly getting texts.
