Apple releases watchOS 27.2 with Siri AI upgrades and Apple Music redesign

Apple has begun rolling out watchOS 27.2 for compatible Apple Watch models. Users can install the update through the Watch app on their iPhone, after updating to iOS 27.2.

The update focuses on enhancing Siri AI. According to Apple’s release notes, the new version allows Siri to recall past conversations, draw answers from photos in Messages, calendar attendees, voicemails, Safari history and Reading List, and respond more quickly on the watch. It also introduces an "Excluded Apps" setting that lets users control which apps can access Siri, Search and suggestions.

Language support has been expanded beyond US English to include French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish, making the feature available to a broader user base.

In addition, Apple Music receives a visual refresh on watchOS 27.2, replacing the previous red icon with a black-and-white version and applying monochrome design tweaks throughout the app.

"Siri AI can recall your past conversations, so you can ask Siri about something it told you before, like the restaurants it recommended last week." "Siri AI can draw from more sources to give you a great answer, including photos attached in Messages, Calendar event attendees, your voicemails, and better results from Safari history and Reading List from your phone." "Excluded Apps lets you choose which apps Siri, Search, and suggestions can access, all from one setting on your phone." "Siri AI now provides faster responses on Apple Watch."

visionOS 27.2 for Apple Vision Pro receives the same Siri language expansion and Apple Music icon update, with no other changes reported.
