Apple is preparing an iPhone feature that automates splitting restaurant and other group bills by using the camera to capture a receipt. Multiple outlets report that the approach involves taking a photo of the bill, selecting or assigning the items each person is responsible for, and then calculating each participant’s share. Reported calculations include item prices as well as applicable tax and tip. The feature is expected to connect with Apple Cash, Apple’s peer-to-peer payments system, so it can generate payment requests for each person’s portion of the bill rather than requiring manual tab splitting or separate payment handling. Tech outlets also describe the experience as being tied to Apple’s Siri in Camera capability, where users can point their iPhone at the bill and select items to divide the total. Coverage also indicates the tool will be integrated into Apple’s Wallet app and may be accessible within Messages, depending on how Apple launches the function. The reports cite people familiar with the plan and indicate Apple aims to expand iPhone tools for everyday financial tasks.
