iOS 27.2 Messages Calendar Event Suggestions Explained
Apple has rolled out its latest iOS 27.2 update for iPhones and iPads, featuring expanded language support and improved memory functions for Siri AI, suggestions in messages, and Apple Pencil support for the foldable iPhone Duo. With the new software update, Siri AI can now be used in French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, in beta.

Apart from its own suggestions and answers, Siri can also tap into sources like photos attached in Messages, calendar event attendees, voicemails, Safari history, and reading lists. Users can define what apps they might want to exclude from Siri AI’s memories. While the iPhone Duo is facing some display-related problems for early buyers, Apple is adding more features with the update. iOS 27.2 brings Apple Pencil support for the foldable in apps like Notes and Preview. What’s more, users can use the Edge Light effect to highlight their face better during video calls. The new software version also adds features for FaceTime, including streaming via front and rear camera simultaneously through Dual Cap.
