iOS 27 is officially here. After a summer of beta testing, the free software update has arrived for everyone. It brings Siri AI, new Apple Intelligence features, more control over Liquid Glass, and improvements throughout the system.

You can download iOS 27 by opening Settings → General → Software Update on your iPhone. Before installing, back up your iPhone using iCloud or a computer.

With iOS 27, Apple introduces a more conversational assistant called Siri AI. The new Siri can use personal context to find information across your messages, emails, photos, and other content. Siri AI and the new Apple Intelligence features require iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or an iPhone 16 model or later. iPhone Air and iPhone Duo also support Siri AI.

iOS 27 adds a slider in Settings that lets you adjust Liquid Glass from clear to fully tinted. Apple reports faster app launches, quicker loading of newly captured photos, and faster AirDrop transfers. Photos adds Spatial Reframing, Extend, and improved Clean Up. Safari gains automatic tab grouping by topic.

Other features include AirPods Custom EQ, separate alarm and timer volume, expanded parental controls, Communication Safety updates, Call Context, and accessibility improvements.
