iOS 27.2 Could Save Your Marriage
The iOS 27.2 beta that Apple released today adds a feature that reminds you it's your anniversary when you call someone, as long as you've added the date in the Contacts app. On the date of your anniversary, when you go to call the person, you'll see a reminder that it's an important day so you don't forget to say something.

Apple's iOS 27.2 beta introduces a feature that notifies users of their anniversary when they call that person, provided the date has been added in the Contacts app. When the anniversary day arrives, calling the contact will trigger a reminder, ensuring users don't forget to celebrate the occasion. This functionality, known as Call Context, also pulls in information from emails and other sources during phone calls.
For example, if you're calling an airline with a flight confirmation number in your Mail app, Call Context will display that information to save you the trouble of searching for it. In iOS 27, Call Context included birthday reminders, featuring a fireworks animation during calls. iOS 27.2 expands on this by adding anniversary notifications, although it doesn't come with a new animation.
To set an anniversary reminder for a contact, users must open the Contacts app, select the contact, tap Edit, add a date, and choose anniversary from the suggestions. Alternatively, Siri AI can add the anniversary date to a contact's card on devices supporting Apple Intelligence. Currently in beta, iOS 27.2 is set for a October release.
