Overview

  • Apple publicly released iOS 27.2 on Monday, October 26, 2026, and the update is available to compatible devices via Settings > General > Software Update.
  • Siri AI gains a conversation‑memory feature that can recall past interactions and draw on more personal sources such as Messages attachments, Calendar attendees, voicemails, and Safari history.
  • Siri AI expands to French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish but requires newer hardware (iPhone 15 Pro or later and iPhone 16 models) and remains unavailable in the European Union and mainland China.
  • The release adds system and app changes including Apple TV profiles, Messages context suggestions, FaceTime Dual Capture and third‑party interpreter/captioner support, SynthID watermarking in Photos, and Duo‑specific features like Apple Pencil (USB‑C) support and Edge Light.
  • Apple removed the redesigned Health app from the final 27.2 build, reserved iOS 27.1 only for the iPhone Duo launch, and bundled roughly 160+ security fixes plus new privacy controls such as an Excluded Apps setting and an EU alternative App Tracking Transparency prompt.
