Apple has released iPadOS 27.2, introducing a new Siri AI feature that simplifies voice assistant access. When selecting text with a trackpad or mouse, a contextual popup now appears, prompting users to "Ask Siri." This mirrors the functionality already available on macOS. The update also includes Writing Tools commands like "rewrite" and "proofread" for improved text editing.
Additionally, Siri now supports French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. The Apple TV app now allows user profiles on iPad, though full multi-user support remains absent. Anniversary reminders are now integrated into the calling interface.
Users in the European Union will see App Tracking Transparency prompts annually. The redesigned Apple Health app with Apple Intelligence features was briefly available in beta but was removed before the release candidate. It is expected to return in iPadOS 27.3.
Users can install the update manually via Settings or wait for automatic installation.
