Apple rolls out iOS 27.2 with revamped Music app and expanded Siri AI features

Apple has launched iOS 27.2 for iPhone, bringing a suite of visual and functional upgrades. The update refreshes Apple Music with a black-and-white icon and a blue accent color, while also introducing new widget designs with dark backgrounds.

Siri AI gains the ability to recall prior conversations and draw information from photos, calendar events, voicemails, Safari history, and the Reading List. It now supports French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish, though it remains unavailable in the EU and mainland China. Users can also limit which apps access Siri, Search and suggestions through a new Excluded Apps setting, and select specific text from Siri responses.

Messages adds Suggested Actions that propose context-based shortcuts, such as creating calendar events from chat discussions. The Podcasts app separates new episodes from those already in progress on its Home tab, and the Apple TV app introduces Simple Profiles so household members can maintain separate viewing histories and recommendations.

iPhone Duo receives Apple Pencil support, limited to the USB-C Pencil model, enabling note-taking and drawing on the device. The Home app adds Lock After Closing and Door Left Open options for compatible smart locks, and HomePod users gain a Lock Controls setting to prevent accidental audio playback.

Apple confirmed that a redesigned Health app, previewed in earlier betas, was removed before the public release and is slated for a later update. Users can install iOS 27.2 via Settings > General > Software Update.
