An upcoming iPhone<\/a> feature will enable users to split bills by photographing a receipt, assigning items to different people, and then generating payments requests, Bloomberg reported<\/a> Monday (June 1), citing unnamed sources.<\/p>\n

The feature is tied to the Apple Cash<\/a> peer-to-peer payments system, will be available through the Wallet<\/a> app or within Messages<\/a>, and will give users the option of approving payments from an Apple Watch<\/a>, according to the report.<\/p>\n

It may be announced as soon as next week at Apple\u2019s Worldwide Developers Conference<\/a>, and it may be included in the next version of the iPhone operating system, iOS 27, the report said.<\/p>\n

Apple did not immediately reply to PYMNTS\u2019 request for comment.<\/p>\n

It was reported May 28 that Apple is set to unveil its next software updates<\/a> for iPhone, iPad and Mac at the conference together with several new features.<\/p>\n

According to that report, which was also based on unnamed sources, the new features will include another for Wallet: the ability to create custom passes in the Wallet app.<\/p>\n

The new \u201cCreate a Pass\u201d feature in Wallet is designed for situations in which a business provides a QR code for entry but doesn\u2019t support Apple\u2019s Wallet app. It enables users to generate a custom pass<\/a> around the QR code by importing the code into the app.<\/p>\n

The feature will have templates for standard, membership and event passes, and will let users customize the information shown on each pass, per the report.<\/p>\n

The PYMNTS Intelligence<\/a> report \u201cDigital Wallets Beyond Transactions: Global In-Depth Report<\/a>\u201d found that consumers widely use Apple Wallet<\/a> in the five countries studied in the report: Brazil, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States.<\/p>\n

When FinTech company Monzo<\/a> announced in March 2025 that it debuted a tool to help consumers share expenses<\/a> with friends and family, the company said its solution is aimed at solving what it said is a persistent problem: consumers losing money because they feel too awkward to ask to be paid back after covering shared expenses.<\/p>\n

The U.K. company reported that more than half of U.K. residents routinely covers costs for others.<\/p>\n
