Apple released macOS 27.2, iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2 today, expanding Siri AI to French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish.

Apple released macOS Golden Gate 27.2, iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2 today, the first major updates to the operating systems that launched in September. Mac users can download the update via System Settings, whilst iOS 27.2 is available for all iPhones able to run iOS 27, including the newly released iPhone Duo. iPadOS 27.2 is available for all iPads able to run iPadOS 27, including the newly announced OLED iPad mini.

All three updates expand Siri AI to five new languages: French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish. The updates also introduce new Siri AI capabilities for supported iPhone models (iPhone 16 and later, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max). Siri can now recall past conversations, allowing users to ask about topics it previously discussed. The AI tool can draw from more sources including photos sent in Messages, Calendar event attendees and voicemails. Users can select and copy partial elements of Siri responses, and a new Excluded Apps setting lets users prevent Siri from accessing particular programmes.

The updates also introduce AI suggestions in the Messages app for taking quick actions in Calendar and Reminders based on conversation context. macOS 27.2 adds brightness and volume slider overhauls, whilst iOS 27.2 adds profiles for the Apple TV app and new Apple Music branding. Apple announced that Siri AI will gain support for Chinese (Traditional), Norwegian, Turkish and Vietnamese later this year.
