GoKawiilJust two days after Apple released iOS 27 to the general public, the tech giant released the first developer beta for iOS 27.2. While iOS 27 brought Siri AI and more to your device, this early look at iOS 27.2 shows Siri AI expanding to other languages and a few upgrades in other apps, like Facetime.

Siri AI in more languages
In iOS 27, Siri AI is only available in English. But the first developer beta of iOS 27.2 expands Siri AI to French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish.
Apple previously said Siri AI would expand to these additional languages, so this shows the company moving quickly on that promise.
Use front and rear cameras simultaneously in Facetime

This allows you to Facetime call with a larger group of people — you don’t have to squeeze everyone into a single frame in order to see the person on the other end of the call. However, everyone on the call needs to be on iOS 27 or later for this feature to work.
