Apple aims to announce the feature at its Worldwide Developers Conference as early as next week and ship it as part of iOS 27 this autumn.<\/p>\n<p>The feature will be accessible through the Wallet app and within Messages, with an option to approve payments from an Apple Watch. Shares of PayPal and Block, which owns Cash App, pared their Monday gains on the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>.\u00a0Apple has been competing with Venmo and Cash App\u00a0in peer-to-peer payments since integrating Apple Cash into iMessage, but the bill-splitting tool represents a more direct assault on the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> payments category that third-party apps have dominated.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_receipts_matter\"><\/span>Why receipts matter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bill-splitting apps like Splitwise, Tab, and Settle Up have built dedicated user bases around the specific problem of dividing group expenses. Most work by requiring users to manually enter amounts, a process that creates friction and errors. Apple\u2019s approach, photographing the receipt and using image recognition to extract individual line items, removes the manual step entirely.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inarticle-wrapper latest channel-cta hs-embed-tnw\">\n<div id=\"hs-embed-tnw\" class=\"channel-cta-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"channel-cta-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"js-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/media.thenextweb.com\/hardfork-2018\/uploads\/visuals\/tnw-newsletter.png\"\/><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.thenextweb.com\/hardfork-2018\/uploads\/visuals\/tnw-newsletter.png\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"channel-cta-input\">\n<p class=\"channel-cta-title\">The \ud83d\udc9c of EU tech<\/p>\n<p class=\"channel-cta-tagline\">The latest rumblings from the EU tech scene, a story from our wise ol&#8217; founder Boris, and some questionable AI art.

Users do not need to download a separate app, create an account with a third-party service, or link a bank card to a new platform.\u00a0Apple has systematically expanded its payments infrastructure\u00a0since launching Apple Pay in 2014, and each addition makes the ecosystem stickier for users who already rely on iPhones for daily transactions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apples_fintech_track_record\"><\/span>Apple\u2019s fintech track record<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The bill-splitting feature continues a fintech expansion that has produced mixed results. Apple Pay is widely adopted and has become the dominant contactless payment method in many markets.\u00a0Apple Cash\u2019s peer-to-peer payments, the Apple Card credit card built with Goldman Sachs, a Goldman-backed savings account, and tap-to-pay for businesses have all followed.<\/p>\n<p>Not all of those efforts have succeeded. The Apple Card partnership has weighed on Goldman Sachs\u2019 financial results, and the bank is working to offload the business to JPMorgan Chase. Apple also discontinued a \u201cbuy now, pay later\u201d service approximately a year after launching it. The pattern suggests Apple is willing to experiment aggressively in fintech but also willing to retreat quickly when a product does not gain traction or when a partner relationship becomes strained.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_competitive_landscape\"><\/span>The competitive landscape<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Splitwise is the most direct competitor. The app has built a loyal user base around tracking shared expenses across households, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>s, and recurring group costs. But Splitwise requires users to actively open the app and manage balances, a workflow that Apple\u2019s integrated approach could simplify significantly for casual use cases like splitting a restaurant bill.<\/p>\n<p>Venmo and Cash App compete at a different level. Both are full-featured payment platforms with social feeds, merchant payments, and financial products.\u00a0The fintech landscape is evolving rapidly\u00a0as AI-powered banking platforms enter the market, but Apple\u2019s advantage is distribution. Every iPhone is a potential bill-splitting device with no download required.<\/p>\n<p>The feature also targets younger consumers who manage money primarily through apps rather than traditional banking.\u00a0Mobile payments platforms globally\u00a0are competing for this demographic by embedding financial tools into the apps people already use daily, and Apple\u2019s Messages integration puts bill-splitting where group dinner conversations already happen.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Part_of_a_broader_iOS_27_update\"><\/span>Part of a broader iOS 27 update<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The bill-splitting service is one of several Wallet app additions coming in iOS 27. Apple is also planning a tool that lets users create their own digital passes for events, gym access, and other uses. The Wallet app already hosts the savings account, Apple Pay, and digital keys for cars and homes.<\/p>\n<p>The broader iOS 27 update will focus on artificial intelligence, a revamped Siri digital assistant, AI-powered photo editing tools, a new Siri camera mode, and performance improvements. Apple has positioned iOS 27 as a significant AI upgrade while using the Wallet additions to quietly strengthen its position in everyday financial services.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
