Apple opened public testing for iOS and iPadOS 27, adding customization, productivity and AI features across iPhone and iPad ahead of a wider release.
iOS 27 centers on personalization with full-page widgets, lock-screen clock resizing and separate alarm volume controls, while iPadOS 27 adds multitasking upgrades, a persistent menu bar and better external-monitor controls.
Safari and Notes gain practical workflow tools including automatic tab grouping, web-page change alerts and Markdown support, alongside stronger search in Mail, Photos and Spotlight.
AI and automation are woven through the betas with natural-language Shortcuts, new triggers such as keyboard connection or screenshots, on-device Siri indexing, and improved dictation with automatic punctuation and live writing corrections.
