iOS 27.2 now available: Here’s everything new for iPhone
iOS 27.2 is now available to everyone after six weeks of beta testing. The update was released on Monday, bringing multiple new iPhone features. Here’s everything you need to know.
Apple released iOS 27 on September 14, bringing a ton of new iPhone features, including Siri AI. iOS 27.2 entered beta testing just two days later on September 16.
What happened to iOS 27.1? iOS 27.1 was exclusive to the iPhone Duo, which was released last week and shipped with iOS 27.1. With iOS 27.2, the software update paths have converged and all iPhones will be on the same page going forward.
Siri AI was the big new feature in iOS 27, and iOS 27.2 expands the feature in multiple ways. First, Siri AI is now available in these five languages:
Second, iOS 27.2 also adds several new features to Siri AI. From Apple’s release notes:
In iOS 27, Apple added a new Dual Capture feature for FaceTime that lets you have your front and rear cameras active at the same time. The person on the other end of the call will see you as well as whatever you’re looking at. iOS 27.2 expands this feature to Group FaceTime calls for the first time.
Dual Capture requires an iPhone 17 or later, and everyone on the call needs to be running iOS 27.
Also in iOS 27.2, FaceTime now supports adding a third party sign language interpreter or live captioner to a call.
In Apple Podcasts, the “Up Next” queue has been refreshed with two new dedicated rows: New Episodes and Continue Playing. The New Episodes list shows the latest episodes from shows you follow, while Continue Playing shows in-progress episodes, organized by most recently played.
Additionally, episode lists also now use color-matched backgrounds based on the podcast art.
