Apple has seeded the second public betas of iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS 27.2, tvOS 27.2, and watchOS 27.2. The new betas come just one day after Apple seeded the third betas to developers.
Registered public beta testers can download the public betas from the Software Update section of the Settings app on each device.
iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2
As of this writing, the following new features have been discovered in the iOS 27.2 beta:
- Apple’s redesigned Health app, Apple’s developer notes for the feature say the app, while being tested in this beta, won’t be included in iOS 27.2 when it is released to the public. Instead, it will come later in the year. Apple says it will provide AI-powered Insights and Personal Guidance based on your health data, as well as with metrics for Longevity and Health Age.
- Siri AI is available in new languages, including French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.
- The Apple TV app profiles come to the iOS version of the app. The feature had been limited to tvOS until now.
- A new feature that reminds you it’s your anniversary when you call your significant othe, as long as the date has been entered in the Contacts app.
macOS 27.2
macOS Golden Gate 27.2 introduces Siri AI in new languages.
watchOS 27.2
With watchOS 27.2, Apple is testing the new Health app that it showed off during its iPhone event. The updated app offers new Insights and Longevity tabs, as well as a readiness score calculated from information provided by the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 models.
tvOS 27.2
Code found in tvSO 27.2 indicates Apple is adding an Improve Siri & Apple Intelligence toggle to the tvOS Settings app.
As usual, MacTrast and Apple both warn users to not install any betas on their daily driver devices. Instead, only install betas on a device set aside for testing purposes.
