iOS 27.2 adds new features in six iPhone apps, here’s what’s coming
iOS 27.2 launches next week with new features for iPhone users, including improvements across six Apple apps. Here’s what’s coming.
One of my favorite additions to Messages this year, Suggested Actions, debuts in iOS 27.2.
Suggested Actions appear underneath messages in a conversation when relevant. They can suggest creating a calendar event or reminder, adding to a note, and more based on the context of the message.
The feature was originally part of the iOS 27 beta this summer, but didn’t make the public build. Now it’s back in iOS 27.2, new and improved. There’s also an option to fine-tune which types of suggestions you’ll see.

Every major streaming service has its own profiles feature, letting users on the same account keep their viewing history and recommendations separate. Apple TV has long offered such a feature in tvOS, but now with iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2 it’s coming to iPhone and iPad too.
When you launch the TV app in iOS 27.2, you’ll be greeted by a new profile selection screen. You can easily disable it if you don’t want to see if again. But if you ever share your iPhone with kids, the new profiles feature should come in handy.

Dual Capture is one of FaceTime’s best new features in years. Added in iOS 27, on compatible iPhones it lets you keep your front and rear cameras both active at the same time while on a FaceTime call.
iOS 27.2 brings a key upgrade to Dual Capture: it’s now available for Group FaceTime calls.
