Where they talk about it
Quotes

Caveats mentioned
- Processing and recognition work the same way as in the Business Central web app
Prerequisites mentioned

- Expense Agent mobile app installed on iOS or Android
Documented features match
- No documented item matched. Not documented
- Product documentation: Use the Expense Agent mobile app for iOS and Android (preview), checked 2026-10-02. The app uses your device's native scanning experience. Depending on your device and operating system, the scanner might automatically detect and capture receipts. Note: Preview article. Multiple receipts per session; each becomes a separate expense.
Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
