Apple has released the release candidate for the upcoming iOS 27.2 update to developers for testing purposes. This follows the previous release of the fourth iOS 27.2 beta, which occurred a week ago. The iPadOS 27.2 RC was also disseminated simultaneously. Registered developers can acquire the beta updates by opting in through the Settings > General > Software Update menu and selecting the iOS 27 developer beta.
The iOS 27.2 beta was intended to evaluate the new iOS 27 Health app, but the functionality has been subsequently removed and will be incorporated in a subsequent update. The update broadens Siri's AI capabilities to encompass French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. Additional features include updated Apple TV app profiles, call context support for anniversary alerts, and a revised Apple Music icon.
The update also introduces an alternative, expanded prompt for App Tracking Transparency in the European Union. Apple had originally projected that the new Siri AI languages in iOS 27.2 would be available in October, indicating a potential public launch for the update before the end of the month. With the release candidate now available, the update might be made accessible as early as next week.
