In iOS 27, available now, Apple has added a new Siri mode to the iPhone's Camera app. This mode uses Visual Intelligence to identify objects in the frame, providing information about plants, animals, and food, including calorie counts. Users can swipe across the mode carousel at the bottom of the screen to access Siri mode.

The interface has been reorganized, with quick access tools for flash, Live Photo, and Night mode now located at the top-center of the UI. The full set of tools can be accessed from the bottom-right instead of the top-right. Users can also customize which controls are displayed at the top of the screen.

Apple made iOS 27 available for download on supported iPhone models on September 14, ahead of the launch of new iPhone 18 Pro models on September 18. The update includes features such as capturing a photo of an event flyer to add a date to the Calendar app, text translation, and splitting a bill. In Siri mode, a button on the right lets users search Google Images, while a button on the left allows asking a specific question, such as for help cooking the food in the frame.
