PROPOSAL

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

splitting bill with phone account shows @expensify.sms

What is the root cause of that problem?

Root cause of the issue is that in split bill flow, when we are fetching the payee's personal details by the method getIOUConfirmationOptionsFromPayeePersonalDetail, we have not formatted the text and alternate text which we end up showing in <MoneyRequestConfirmationList/> > <OptionsSelector/>

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/60f48175c9e3342ef192d878218820e5ed5a76cd/src/libs/OptionsListUtils.js#L878-L894

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We need to format the alternate text and display name fields using formatPhoneNumber() method in LocalePhoneNumber util

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

We can find other inconsistencies (if any) and fix them all at once

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

If the payee is logged in using phone number, then @expensify.sms should not be displayed while splitting bill after login id.

What is the root cause of that problem?

The login information is displayed plainly from props without formatting and as it has the format <phone number>@expensify.sms

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

In the function getIOUConfirmationOptionsFromPayeePersonalDetail we need to provide check for if there is phone number(sms) based login, then we need to format that phone number by removing @expensify.sms in another variable and then put it in alternateText. Since we may want to have a different format in which the login detail is displayed and not like the displayName, we will write a formatter for this purpose and the end result will be something like the one attached in the image. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/cd851d0fbd901c70a32220472104ffc887639f2a/src/libs/OptionsListUtils.js#L905-L921

Finally :

Details

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

NA

[MitchExpensify]

One note to the internal engineer eventually assigned - Lets double check if we're actively removing @expensify.sms from the front end or the back end across the board just to be 100% sure
