Updating our response since it’s been a long time since the idea was opened. Even though saving the type of unequal split feels like something that would obviously be nice to have (I certainly would use it myself every so often), it requires a change to our data structures, and is therefore a bunch of difficult work to fix, especially since it would need to be fixed separately across iPhone, Android, and web.
If you have a specific use case where not having this feature is really bothering you a lot, please email support@splitwise.com, or comment below to let us know why it’s important to you. The original poster’s meal example is clear and I’m wondering if there are other reasons why it is needed, or any easier way for us to fix it.
In terms of the priorities of our small team, most bills on Splitwise are split equally, so we haven’t been able to make this a priority. We’re not likely to roadmap this feature unless we see a big groundswell of support from the community.
Thanks for your patience and sorry that this has been open so long. We also have some ideas for work-arounds, so feel free to email support if you are stuck with a particular situation.
Best,
Jon

I agree, I think in other words I would like to assign a particular split type to a friend. For example, my wife and I split everything based on a percentage. So every expense we enter we would want to split in the same manner (60/40, for example.) I'd like to be able to edit a friend (in this case my wife) and tell Splitwise that any expenses shared with her will default to a percentage with those values.
