Apple adds over 20 AI-powered features to iOS 27

Apple announced that iOS 27 includes more than 20 new features built on its Apple Intelligence platform. The update revamps Siri with broader world knowledge, personal context understanding across Messages, Mail, Calendar and other apps, onscreen awareness, and the ability to perform actions within third-party apps. A dedicated Siri app will sync conversation history via iCloud, and users can generate or edit text drafts by describing their needs.

System apps also receive AI enhancements. Photos adds spatial reframing and cleanup tools, while Messages and Mail offer personalized smart replies. Calendar and Reminders can be created using natural-language descriptions, and Safari introduces a "Notify Me" feature and automatic tab organization. Shortcuts, Files, Home, and the new Image Playground app gain capabilities such as natural-language shortcut creation, intelligent naming suggestions, activity-related notifications, and realistic image generation.

Across the operating system, iOS 27 provides automatic proofreading for spelling and grammar, call-context information for business calls, and expanded accessibility options, including detailed image descriptions and content summarization. > "Siri can get things done across your apps to send messages, create events, and more," Apple said.

The suite of AI tools aims to make everyday tasks more efficient and personalized for iPhone users.
