GoKawiilApple released iOS 27 beta 3 today, giving developers the second follow-up update since iOS 27 debuted at WWDC. The new beta is available now for registered developers ahead of this 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 3.

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.
