Summary
iOS 27 brings three Apple Intelligence photo-editing upgrades—Extend, Reframe and an improved Clean Up—letting users widen compositions, shift perspective and remove distractions with more realistic infill.
Shared Albums get their first major refresh in years, adding full-resolution photo and video support, Android and Windows sharing, emoji reactions, expiration controls and broader participant permissions.
Two new Utilities collections—Captured by Me and Identity Documents—join keyword tagging and unspecified album organization improvements to help users sort libraries faster.
Slideshows also gain deeper customization, including transition controls, per-photo and total duration settings, plus one-tap export to video.
The Photos update stops short of a major redesign, but broadens editing, sharing and organization as Apple pushes iOS 27 beyond its Siri AI headline.
