What can Siri AI do in iOS 27.2?

Apple has released its 27.2 software updates for iPhones, Macs, Apple Watches, Apple TV, Vision Pro and other devices, and the biggest change is a set of new features for Siri AI. The iOS 27.2 release lets Siri remember what you have talked about before, so you can ask it to revisit a suggestion it made last week, such as a restaurant recommendation.

The update also widens the information Siri can pull from. According to Apple’s release notes, Siri AI can now draw on photos attached in Messages, Calendar event attendees, voicemails, and better results from Safari history and Reading List. For users who want more control, a new Excluded Apps option lets them decide which apps Siri, Search and suggestions can access, all from a single setting.

Which devices and languages support Siri AI?

Siri AI is also arriving in five more languages: French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish. The feature is limited, though. Siri AI is not available in the European Union or mainland China. It works on iPhone 16 models and later, as well as the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Users can also now select and copy only part of a Siri response, which Apple calls granular text selection.

Not every change is tied to Siri. Suggestions in Messages can now help users act on the context of a conversation. For example, a message inviting someone to dinner can prompt a calendar invite. Shared Albums in Photos gains the ability to edit captions and comments, avoid duplicate photos and show a reminder before an album expires, giving participants time to save important photos and videos.

Does iOS 27.2 add AI image watermarking?

Photos and Image Playground also add support for SynthID watermarking, a tool that helps identify whether an image was created or altered with generative AI. The tool was developed by Google. Apple’s notes say it is designed to show whether an image was generated or modified with generative tools.

The iPhone Duo, Apple’s foldable phone, gets its own changes in iOS 27.2. The device now supports the Apple Pencil, a feature Apple had promised earlier. The update also brings Edge Light, a macOS feature that puts an on-screen ring light behind the display for video calls.

The Mac and Apple Watch versions carry much of the same AI work. macOS Golden Gate 27.2 includes Siri’s ability to retain context from earlier interactions and draw from a wider range of personal information. It also adds Suggestions in Messages, which can help users take quick actions in apps such as Calendar and Reminders. watchOS 27.2 receives the same Siri AI feature lineup as the iPhone, and visionOS 27.2 adds the new languages along with an updated Apple Music icon. The update also includes the new Apple Music branding.

Apple’s notes also mention bug fixes and security updates, though it has not detailed every fix. The macOS release includes what Apple describes as additional features, bug fixes and security updates, and it directs users to the company’s support page for information on security content.

Earlier beta versions of macOS 27.2 contained references to new gesture recognition in apps such as Photos, Notes and Safari. Those references may connect to unconfirmed reports of touch support on the next MacBook Pro refresh. Apple has not confirmed that hardware change, but the company has a public briefing scheduled for Wednesday.

Apple also pushed the 27.2 updates to its iPad, Apple TV, Vision Pro and HomePod products on Tuesday. Users can install the updates through the standard software update settings on each device.
