Apple pushed out iPadOS 27 beta 2 to developers on Tuesday, continuing the rollout of its upcoming tablet operating system that debuted at WWDC earlier this month. The update appears in Settings under General and Software Update, giving developers their second look at the new software ahead of the public release later this year.

Beta 1 introduced several headline features including Siri AI integration, though Apple requires developers to join a waitlist before accessing the artificial intelligence capabilities. The company also redesigned core apps like Messages, Notes, Photos, and Reminders, while adding a Liquid Glass slider that brings visual polish to the interface.

This second beta typically focuses on stability improvements and bug fixes, though Apple sometimes sneaks in additional features or design tweaks between releases. Developers enrolled in the free Apple Developer program can download the beta now, while regular users will need to wait for the public beta or official fall launch.

For iPad owners eager to test the new AI capabilities and redesigned apps, the beta program offers early access to what could be the most significant iPad software update in years. The full release should arrive alongside new iPad hardware this fall.
