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.
Apple has released the second public beta of iOS 27.2, bringing its redesigned Health app to iPhone users testing the preview. Other changes carried over from the first beta include dual capture for Group FaceTime, expanded Siri language support, Apple TV app profiles on iPhone, and renamed sections in Apple Podcasts. Apple is expected to release iOS 27.2 officially later this month.
Apple is developing iOS 27.2, which extends the Dual Capture front-and-back camera feature to Group FaceTime calls, previously limited to one-on-one calls in iOS 27. The update also splits Apple Podcasts' Up Next queue into separate 'New Episodes' and 'Continue Playing' sections, and brings user profile support to the iPhone TV app for the first time, a feature previously exclusive to tvOS.
Apple's iOS 27.2 beta expands FaceTime's Dual Capture feature, which shows a caller's front and rear camera views simultaneously, to Group FaceTime calls. Previously introduced in iOS 27, Dual Capture was limited to one-on-one calls; it requires an iPhone 17 or later, with other participants needing iOS 27, iPadOS 27, or macOS 27 to view the dual streams.
Apple has released the first developer beta of iOS 27.2, introducing the redesigned Health app teased at the iPhone 18 Pro launch and expanding Siri's AI language support to French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. The update also adds dual capture to Group FaceTime, Apple TV profiles on iPhone, and tweaks to Podcasts and Apple Music interfaces.
