Venmo Launches In-App Receipt Scanning to Split Bills, Challenging Apple Cash on iOS 27

Summary
Venmo is rolling out a receipt-scanning tool that lets users photograph a bill, itemize charges and generate payment requests inside the app.
The feature also calculates each person's share of tax and tip, targeting one of Venmo's most common but tedious use cases—splitting group expenses after meals or outings.
Venmo said the tool works across mobile devices and will be widely available within a few weeks, potentially strengthening its pull against Cash App, Apple Cash and Zelle.
The launch follows iOS 27's Visual Intelligence feature, which lets iPhone users split receipts with Apple Cash, while Venmo already offered broader shared-expense tracking through Venmo Groups since 2023.
