Developers can download these beta updates by signing up under the Settings > General > Software Update section and selecting the iOS 27 developer beta.\n\nThe iOS 27.2 update introduces Apple's redesigned Health app, featuring new Insight and Longevity tabs. Additionally, Siri AI capabilities have been expanded to support new languages.
