IT Home reported on November 3 that, according to a report today by technology outlet MacObserver, Apple has added an “Excluded Apps” setting in iOS 27.2, allowing iPhone users to control Siri’s access to apps more flexibly.
IT Home learned from the original report that the feature can control access restrictions for Siri’s AI personal context feature. For example, after a user adds an app to the exclusion list, Siri cannot use the app’s content to provide personalized services or access actions supported by the app, and information from within the app will not appear in Siri Suggestions.
The feature is located under “Siri” in Settings. Apple says that if users add an app to the exclusion list, Siri commands and personalized suggestions may become unavailable. Users should therefore consider whether they regularly use these features before changing access permissions.
In addition, Siri’s advanced AI features still require an iPhone compatible with Apple Intelligence, including the iPhone 15 Pro series and models such as the iPhone 16.
