iPhone Bill Splitting Arrives With iOS 27
7 Sep
Summary
- iOS 27 introduces Visual Intelligence to scan receipts and split bills.
- Users need Apple Cash set up for the bill-splitting feature.
- The camera can also add physical Wallet passes to the app.
Apple's iOS 27 update is set to enhance the iPhone experience with significant optimizations and system refinements, notably introducing a practical solution for splitting group meal expenses.
The new Visual Intelligence feature will allow iPhones to read receipts, automatically calculate individual shares, and send Apple Cash requests to group members. This eliminates the need for one person to cover the entire bill.
To utilize this functionality, users must have Apple Cash set up within the Wallet app for sending and receiving payments. A compatible iPhone running iOS 27 is also required, along with an itemized receipt that the camera can accurately recognize.
Beyond bill splitting, iOS 27 incorporates another Visual Intelligence tool to manage Apple Wallet passes. The iPhone camera can identify compatible physical passes, such as boarding passes or loyalty cards, and add them directly to the Wallet app, streamlining digital organization for users.
