GoKawiilNow that Apple's WWDC 2026 event is over, there are a lot of questions left about what's different in iOS 27 when it comes to app features.
This year's WWDC was a little different from its previous software events and felt closer to Google I/O than ever, as Apple's AI efforts were priority No. 1 for the show. Still, its approach to delivering its AI features felt a bit more palatable than what we saw from Google's onslaught of nearly unavoidable AI it announced at its developer conference last month.
Artificial intelligence stole the spotlight at WWDC, but that's far from the only thing you can expect when the latest version of the OS drops later this year. On Tuesday, Apple shared some new details on what's coming in iOS 27, including updates to Apple Wallet.
Apple Wallet is a widely used app that lets you pay for everyday items and send cash to people with iPhones, and you can even add your ID or driver's license to the app in supported states. And in the coming months, it'll become even more powerful. Here's what's coming to Apple Wallet in iOS 27.

Splitting a bill can be cumbersome, but that's about to change for Apple Wallet.
Soon, you'll be able to point your camera at a receipt in Siri Mode and Apple Intelligence will recognize and turn the items into something actionable, allowing you to select your items from a list on the tab to quickly calculate how much you owe, so you know exactly how much to send to pay your part via Apple Cash.
The new feature is available in Apple Wallet, Messages and via Apple Intelligence in your iPhone's camera app.
