IT Home reported on October 27 that Apple today released the iOS / iPadOS 27.2 update (build number: 24B119) to iPhone and iPad users, 28 days after the previous stable release.
Please note that, because of configuration caching issues on Apple's regional servers, the update may be detected slightly later in some places, generally by no more than half an hour.
The official release notes state only: “This update provides improvements, bug fixes, and security updates for iPhone.”
For details of the update, IT Home consulted reports from overseas media and provides the relevant release notes below:
Siri AI
Memory: Siri AI can remember previous conversations. For example, you can ask it, “Which restaurants did you recommend last week?”
Broader personal context: Siri can draw on more sources of information, including photo attachments in Messages, calendar event attendees, voicemails, and improved results from Safari history and Reading List.
Excluded apps: A new unified setting lets users choose which apps Siri, Search, and Suggestions cannot access.
Precise text selection: You can select and copy only part of a Siri response.
New languages: Siri AI adds French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish; however, Siri AI is unavailable in the European Union and mainland China.
Messages, Photos, and FaceTime
Suggested actions in Messages: Quick actions are suggested based on chat content. For example, when a conversation mentions plans for a date, users can quickly create a calendar event or reminder; users can control the types of suggestions in Settings.
Shared Albums in Photos: Users can edit descriptions and comments, avoid adding duplicate photos, and see reminders when an album is about to expire, making it easier for participants to save important photos and videos.
SynthID watermark detection: Photos and Image Playground support detecting whether an image was created or modified by generative AI.
FaceTime: Users can add third-party sign language interpreters or live captioners to calls; Dual Capture expands to group FaceTime, allowing front and rear camera views to be shared simultaneously.
Apple Music, Podcasts, and Apple TV
Apple Music's new visual identity: The app icon switches from its previous red design to a black-and-white color scheme; the accent color for selected tabs in the app changes from red to blue, and widgets also get a black background.
Podcasts: The home screen is split into “Latest Episodes” and “Continue Playing” sections, showing new content from followed shows and episodes that have not yet been finished, respectively; the app icon and playback queue interface have also been adjusted.
Apple TV profiles: The Apple TV app on iPhone adds profiles, allowing family members to have separate viewing histories and recommendations; children's accounts and password protection are also supported.
Apple TV Multiview: Sports content supports Multiview, allowing viewers to watch up to 4 events at once, but the feature is limited to live sports on Apple TV.
Home, HomePod, and system details
Smart locks in the Home app: Compatible locks gain “automatically lock after the door closes” and “door left open” alerts; the latter can notify users when a door has remained open for a long time, with the alert time adjustable from 5 to 30 minutes.
HomePod: The update adds a “Lock Controls” setting to prevent accidental audio playback while retaining touch responses for timers and alarms; HomePod must also be updated to firmware version 27.2.
CarPlay Ultra: Themes can be applied, and in-car ambient lighting may change with the theme; the actual effect depends on how extensively the automaker integrates the feature.
Other interface changes: These include a progress bar and Liquid Glass menus in the Apple Books reading interface, a slight adjustment to the Find My icon, the restoration of the side-button activation option in Siri accessibility settings, and a fix for an issue that could cause the Home Screen to flicker or freeze when dragging widgets.
