GoKawiilVenmo adds receipt-scanning bill-splitting feature to its app

GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The move follows Apple's own bill-splitting tool via Visual Intelligence in iOS 27, suggesting payment apps are racing to automate a common but tedious social task. By building on its 2023 Venmo Groups feature, the company may be trying to keep users within its ecosystem rather than switching to rivals like Cash App, Apple Cash or Zelle.
