Apple releases iOS 27.2, here’s what’s new

Apple has released iOS 27.2 for iPhone, introducing a variety of new features. Siri AI now remembers past conversations and can draw information from various sources, including Messages, Calendar events, voicemails, Safari history, and Reading List. Users can also choose which apps Siri can access and customize text selection for Siri responses.

Siri AI is now available in more languages, including French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. Other Suggestions in Messages provide actions based on conversation context, such as adding Calendar invites. Shared Albums in Photos now allow caption and comment editing, display expiration reminders, and display a Lock Controls setting to prevent unwanted audio starts.

The Home tab in Podcasts offers separate sections for new episodes and continue playing. iPhone Duo now supports Apple Pencil, arriving alongside the iOS 27.2 update. Apple Music has a new black-and-white app icon and refreshed music widgets with black backgrounds. Messages adds Suggested Actions for shortcuts, while Apple TV adds profiles for separate viewing history and recommendations.

HomePod owners now have a Lock Controls setting to prevent accidental audio starts. The Health app is set to release later in the year.
