Announced alongside iOS 27 on September 14, the update brings a plethora of new features to Apple's flagship operating system.\n\nThe update builds upon the introduction of Siri AI in iOS 27, expanding its capabilities across multiple languages and adding new functionalities. Siri AI is now accessible in five languages, allowing users to interact with their devices in their preferred language.\n\nMoreover, iOS 27.2 introduces several enhancements to Siri AI, including the ability to add a third-party sign language interpreter or live captioner to FaceTime calls via the new Dual Capture feature.
