Apple iOS 27.2 arrives soon: 6 new features on the way
Here's a look at the 6 best new features coming to iPhone with the release of iOS 27.2.
Apple is set to release iOS 27.2 soon, accompanying the launch of new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models and the upcoming iPhone Duo. The update brings several new features to enhance user experience. Among the highlights is Dual Capture for Group FaceTime calls, enabling users to simultaneously record video with both the rear main and selfie cameras.
This builds upon the existing Dual Capture feature, which allows capturing video using rear and front cameras during individual FaceTime calls. Additionally, the redesigned Health app, showcased at Apple's September event, will soon be available with iOS 27.2, featuring Insights, Longevity, and Browse tabs for better health tracking and data organization.
Messages will receive Suggestions, offering one-tap options to add events to calendars or set reminders based on conversation context. For Galaxy and Pixel phone users, this function was initially available but is now returning to iPhones as part of Apple Intelligence integration. Furthermore, Suggestions can help locate relevant photos, locations, contacts, and other information during conversations.
Apple has also revamped the Up Next section in Apple Podcasts, splitting it into New Episodes and Continue Playing sections. Lastly, Apple TV app profiles on iOS will support user profiles, mirroring the feature on tvOS, allowing personalized suggestions and watch history tracking.
