Apple releases iPadOS 27.2, bringing multiple new features to iPad

Apple has released iPadOS 27.2, its latest software update for iPad users. Here’s what’s new.

iPadOS 27.2 available now with new app features and design updates

iPad users, there’s a new software update rolling out now. You can install iPadOS 27.2 by opening Settings ⇾ General ⇾ Software Update.

Apple’s latest update includes a variety of new features across several apps, plus some smaller design changes—especially for Apple Music.

iPadOS 27.2’s new features include:

Siri AI: Improved features and additional languages now supported

Messages: Suggested Actions

Apple TV: User profiles now available

Apple Music: New app icon and design updates

Apple Podcasts: Up Next queue gets revamped

Home: New controls for compatible smart locks

Apple Books: Design updates including new menus, easier bookmarking

Additionally, if you work on your iPad with a trackpad or mouse, like Apple’s own Magic Keyboard accessory, iPadOS 27.2 brings over a new Siri shortcut from the Mac. It pops up a Siri icon when you select text, which you can hover over to start typing a Siri request about your selection.

iPadOS 27.2 is available on all iPad models that support iPadOS 27.

And if you’re curious why there’s no iPadOS 27.1—Apple reserved the x.1 software cycle for iPhone Duo only.
