Apple added a new “Insights” feature to the Wallet app in the second beta of iOS 27. Accessible by tapping the three dots in the upper right corner, Insights appears to allow users to add different financial accounts to monitor their spending.
A splash screen for the feature indicates that users will be able to connect accounts to Wallet to view information about spending, recurring transactions, account balances, and more. The fine print states the following: “Your device is connected to your financial institution by a wholly owned subsidiary of Apple, which retrieves, categorizes and standardizes your account information for display on your device. Your account information is not stored.”
Pressing the Continue button on the Start screen takes you to the Add to Wallet interface without any new options available, so it doesn’t seem functional at the moment.
Apple has detailed transaction information for the Apple Card, but support for other cards and accounts has been limited. Apple introduced a Connected Maps feature in iOS 17.1, but adoption has been limited. Discover implemented support and users could see their card’s total balance, pay with rewards, and transaction history, but Discover removed the feature in early June and almost no other U.S. issuers ever used it. Several UK banks are still benefiting from deeper integration with the Connected Cards option in the Wallet app.
It looks like Insights could be a successor to connected cards that will work without card issuers specifically adding support.
