iOS 27 Wallet Adds Apple Cash Bill Splitting

Apple Wallet is better than ever in iOS 27 thanks to a handful of new features, including a clever solution for splitting bills with friends and family via Apple Cash.

With iOS 27, users can split bills using Apple Cash and Apple Intelligence, making it easy to settle up after meals with friends. Users can scan a receipt with their iPhone camera, or use a photo of a bill to split it. This capability is available in Messages, in Apple Wallet, or by using Visual Intelligence onscreen and with the iPhone camera.

When users point their iPhone at a receipt using Siri mode, it can surface the relevant action to split a bill with Apple Cash and identify the items on the receipt. As users select their items, their total payment is calculated, including their share of tax and tip, so they can pay back exactly what they owe with Apple Cash.

In my testing, bill splitting has proven an excellent addition to iOS 27 that delivers a very user-friendly experience. The only real downside is that if you or your friends haven’t set up Apple Cash yet, that will be an extra step that slows you down. But once Apple Cash is set up, bill splitting is a great addition that I hope gains a lot of popularity over time because the experience is so seamless.
