Apple Wallet in iOS 27 Could Make Bill Splitting Much Easier

Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27 at WWDC next week, and a new report suggests the update will introduce a useful Apple Wallet feature that helps users split bills directly from a photo of a receipt. The new tool appears designed for group dinners, shared expenses, and other situations where dividing a bill often becomes time-consuming and confusing.

According to Bloomberg, iOS 27 will allow iPhone users to take a picture of a receipt and assign individual items to different people. Once everyone’s purchases are identified, the feature can automatically calculate how much each person owes and generate payment requests.

The system is also expected to include taxes and tips in the final calculation, making it easier to settle restaurant bills without manually using a calculator or a separate app. Apple reportedly plans to connect the feature with Apple Cash, its peer-to-peer payment service that lets users send and receive money.

Available Across Multiple Apple Devices

The report says users will be able to access the feature through both the Wallet app and the Messages app. Apple is also working on integration with Apple Watch, allowing users to manage shared expenses from their wrist.

This addition continues Apple’s effort to expand Wallet beyond payments and digital cards by turning it into a broader financial management tool for everyday use.

The bill-splitting tool is not the only Wallet feature rumored for iOS 27. Earlier reports suggested Apple is also working on support for converting physical passes into digital versions stored in Apple Wallet. For example, users could photograph a gym membership barcode and save it as a digital pass on their iPhone.

With WWDC just days away, Apple Wallet is shaping up to be one of the apps receiving meaningful upgrades in iOS 27, especially for users who regularly share expenses with friends and family.
