iOS 27 Update Introduces Bill Splitting and Pass Customization in Apple Wallet
Key points
- iOS 27 introduces Visual Intelligence for bill splitting with Apple Cash.
- Users can scan itemized receipts to split costs among contacts.
- The update also allows adding physical passes to Apple Wallet via camera.
- Features require Apple Cash setup and a compatible iPhone running iOS 27.
New Bill Splitting Functionality
The iOS 27 update will integrate a new bill-splitting feature into Apple Wallet, utilizing Visual Intelligence. This functionality allows iPhone users to scan itemized receipts with their camera, automatically parse the details, and then split the bill among selected contacts using Apple Cash requests. This aims to simplify the process of settling group expenses.
Requirements for Bill Splitting
To use the bill-splitting feature, users must have Apple Cash set up for sending and receiving money through Wallet. A compatible iPhone running iOS 27 is also required, along with an itemized receipt that the camera can read. The feature is designed to allow individual item accounting rather than just even splits.
Adding Passes to Apple Wallet
In addition to bill splitting, iOS 27 will introduce a separate tool for Apple Wallet passes, also powered by Visual Intelligence. This feature enables the iPhone camera to identify compatible physical passes, such as boarding passes, loyalty cards, and tickets, and add them directly to the user's Wallet. This expands the digital management capabilities of Apple Wallet.
Accessing New Features
Both new features are accessible through Visual Intelligence, which can be added to the Control Center for quick access. Users can activate Visual Intelligence by swiping down from the top right of the screen, touching and holding an empty area, and adding it as a control. Once set up, users can scan receipts or passes directly from the Control Center.
