Apple today seeded the second betas of iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS Golden Gate 27.2, tvOS 27.2, and watchOS 27.2. The software comes a day after Apple provided the third betas to developers.


To get the new betas, you can sign up on Apple's beta testing website. After you're signed up, the betas can be installed through the Software Update section in the Settings app on each device.

iOS 27.2 includes the redesigned Health app that Apple introduced at its September iPhone event. It features new Insights and Longevity tabs with more insight into health and fitness data. There's also a Health Age feature that uses your metrics to determine your fitness age vs. your actual age.

In the Apple TV app, there are new profile options, and Siri AI is now available in French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.

There are a few other features in the updates, which are listed in our iOS 27.2 guide.

iOS 27.2 is coming soon with several new features for iPhone users, including Suggested Actions in Messages, a feature that lets the Messages app offer actions based on the context of conversations.


If someone asks for a photo, Messages might suggest inserting it with a tap. If someone invites you to an event, Messages can suggest adding it to the Calendar app.

Suggested Actions in Messages originally appeared in the iOS 27 beta but was pulled in the final release. It's now back in the iOS 27.2 beta, and there's evidence that Apple is also adding finer manual controls over the one-tap action buttons so that users can turn them on and off individually.

Code explorer pdfu found the new controls in iOS 27.2 beta 3. A new settings screen provides separate toggles for Suggested Actions including Add to Calendar, Add to Reminders, Add to Notes, Show in Maps, and Flights and Packages.

There's also a switch to "Hide Unused Suggestions." When enabled, suggestions that aren't used will stop being shown in Messages after 30 days. Hidden suggestions can also be re-activated by toggling their individual switches off and back on again, according to the screenshot shared by pdfu.


Apart from Suggested Actions in Messages, iOS 27.2 includes Apple's redesigned Health app with new Insight and Longevity tabs. It also brings Siri AI in new languages. There are several other new features, with details available in our features guide.

It was a surprise when Apple released an iOS 27.2 beta ahead of an iOS 27.1 beta, but it's because the company plans to ship the iPhone Duo with iOS 27.1, and it likely wants to keep some of the iPhone Duo features hidden for longer.

The ‌iPhone Duo‌ will launch on October 23. Apple previously said the new ‌Siri‌ AI languages in iOS 27.2 would be available in October, so it's likely iOS 27.2 will come shortly after the ‌iPhone Duo‌'s release date.
