Everything New in iOS 27.2 Beta 1

Apple surprised us with the first beta of iOS 27.2 today instead of releasing an iOS 27.1 beta. Apple likely went straight to iOS 27.2 to keep iPhone Duo code under wraps for now, since we already know the ‌iPhone Duo‌ will ship with iOS 27.1 when it comes out in October. This beta includes Apple’s revamped Health app, new languages for Siri AI, and a handful of other useful tweaks.

Revamped Health App The iOS 27.2 beta includes the redesigned Health app Apple showed off at its September iPhone event. The new app is organized into three main tabs: Insights, Longevity, and Browse. Insights includes your most recent and relevant health info, such as vitals, sleep score, heart rate, and Activity Rings.

Longevity shows your health data over time, offering up a Health Age calculated from activity level, VO2 max, sleep time, and other metrics. The Health Age feature uses in-app assessments that take advantage of the iPhone’s camera. You can measure flexibility, strength, balance, and VO2 max.
