Apple released iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2 on Monday, October 26, the first major update to iOS 27. The headline change is Siri AI, which now works in French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish, on supported devices from the iPhone 15 Pro onward. Siri AI remains unavailable in the European Union and mainland China on iPhone.

Siri can now recall past conversations, so users can ask about something it recommended before, and it draws on more personal sources: photos attached in Messages, Calendar event attendees, voicemails, and Safari history and Reading List. A new Excluded Apps setting lets users control in one place which apps Siri, Search and suggestions can access, and users can select and copy just part of a Siri response.

The update also switches on SynthID watermarks for images created in Image Playground and for larger edits in Photos, using the invisible watermark developed by Google DeepMind. Apple listed more than 160 security fixes in the release.
