GoKawiilApple released iOS 27 beta 2 today, giving developers the first follow-up update since iOS 27 debuted at WWDC. The new beta is available now for registered developers ahead of next month’s expected public beta release.
iOS 27 is a major iPhone update centered around Siri AI, Apple Intelligence, Liquid Glass refinements, and a long list of quality-of-life changes. Here’s what we’ve found so far in iOS 27 beta 2.
iOS 27 beta 2 details
iOS 27 beta 2 is available now for developer beta testers. The build number is 24A5370h.
You can install the update by opening the Settings app, choosing General, then Software Update. From there, make sure iOS 27 Developer Beta is selected under Beta Updates.
As with any early beta, we do not recommend installing iOS 27 beta 2 on a primary iPhone. You should expect bugs, battery life issues, app compatibility problems, and other rough edges until Apple gets closer to the fall release.
