GoKawiiliOS 27.2 adds Group FaceTime Dual Capture, revamped Podcasts queue, TV profiles
Apple's upcoming iOS 27.2 update, expected next week, extends Dual Capture to Group FaceTime calls after launching as a one-on-one feature in iOS 27. It also splits Apple Podcasts' Up Next queue into separate New Episodes and Continue Playing sections, and brings tvOS-style user profiles to the iPhone's Apple TV app.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The profile feature could matter most for families, since content recommendations and restrictions can now be tailored per viewer on a shared iPhone rather than only on Apple TV hardware. Extending Dual Capture to group calls and reorganizing Podcasts suggests Apple is iterating quickly on features introduced in iOS 27 based on user feedback rather than waiting for a major yearly release.
- Dual Capture, previously limited to one-on-one FaceTime, now works in Group FaceTime calls.
- Apple Podcasts replaces its single Up Next queue with separate New Episodes and Continue Playing sections.
- The Apple TV app gains user profiles on iPhone for the first time, with optional child-specific content restrictions.
