What’s in iOS 27.2 beta 1: Health redesign preview, Siri AI languages, more
Hands-on reporting from 9to5Mac, MacRumors, and AppleInsider confirms what landed in iOS 27.2 developer beta 1 — including Siri AI languages, a preview of the redesigned Health app, Group FaceTime dual capture, and Apple TV profiles on iPhone.
Redesigned Health app preview — the Longevity / Insights experience Apple showed at Surprise and Shine is live for developer testers. AppleInsider reports Apple still says the public redesign will ship with the final iOS 27.2 release and is expected , initially in U.S. English. Related: .
Siri AI languages — beyond English, MacRumors and AppleInsider say French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish are available in the beta (still labeled beta). That tracks Apple’s October language window and suggests iOS 27.2 is aiming at an October public cycle.
Dual capture in Group FaceTime — front and rear camera feeds together, previously limited to standard FaceTime calls (AppleInsider notes the behavior was highlighted with the iPhone 17 generation).
Apple TV profiles on iPhone — create or join existing profiles from the Apple TV app on iPhone; optional.
Podcasts / Music polish — 9to5Mac: Podcasts renames “Up Next” to New Episodes, moves Continue Playing underneath, and adds color-matched episode-list backgrounds; Apple Music uses less of each icon’s color on labels.
What this does not change
This remains a developer beta, not a public release.
iOS 27.1 / iPhone Duo work is still the separate track Apple is holding closer to October hardware.
The Health redesign appearing in beta is a preview, not a guarantee it locks to the 27.2 public train.
Who should care
Developers and early adopters already on the iOS 27 developer track who want to validate Health, Siri AI localization, FaceTime, and TV-app changes
Anyone waiting for non-English Siri AI — beta 1 is the first hands-on confirmation those languages are in the 27.2 pipeline
Most users: stay on public iOS 27 until a public beta or release notes land
