Apple Issues Second Public Betas for iOS 27.2 and macOS 27.2
The pre-release builds bring a redesigned three-tab Health app to iPhone and add five languages to Siri AI on Mac.
Apple has released the second public beta builds for iOS 27.2 and macOS 27.2, opening pre-release testing to enrolled users ahead of a general rollout, according to a report by Mashable Tech (https://mashable.com/tech/apple-ios-macos-27-public-beta-2-out-now-features). Users registered through Apple's beta program can download the builds directly on eligible devices via standard software update settings.
The central change in iOS 27.2 is an overhaul of the native Health app. The redesign divides health tracking into three primary sections: Insights, which aggregates recent vital metrics; Longevity, which tracks health data over extended periods; and Browse, which organizes the remainder of the app's catalog and tools.
Additional updates in the iOS 27.2 beta include individual user profiles in the Apple TV app, new theme options for CarPlay, and minor visual adjustments to the Clock and Music applications.
For Mac users, macOS 27.2 focuses primarily on expanding language support for Siri AI. The update adds five global languages: French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. Testers are advised to back up their devices before installing the beta software.
