Rumors for iOS 27 have so far indicated that this year\u2019s release will mostly be focused on stability, with<a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/04\/16\/apple-leaks-four-ios-27-features-including-overdue-wallet-upgrade\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> limited new features <\/a>beyond Apple finally <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/04\/10\/ios-27-adding-new-siri-app-to-home-screen-here-are-the-rumored-features\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">delivering on its AI promises<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even though iOS 27 won\u2019t have anything major, there still will be a few light customization features \u2013 and one of them will let you quickly undo and redo changes on your home screen.<\/p>\n<p>Easier customization in iOS 27<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2026-04-19\/apple-ios-27-siri-interface-ios-27-details-mac-studio-touch-macbook-release-mo5u23o7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman in this weekend\u2019s Power On newsletter<\/a>, iOS 27 will add a new home screen toggle that\u2019ll allow users to undo and redo changes on their home screen. This toggle will exist in the same customization menu that\u2019s currently used for adding widgets, switching your icon theme, and more. From the report:<\/p>\n<p>In the category of modest improvements, Apple is testing a tweak to the home screen in iOS 27 that could be helpful for those often making adjustments to their icon and widget layouts. Right now, when you long-press on the home screen, you get a bubble in the top left corner with four options: Add Widget, Customize, Edit Wallpaper and Edit Pages. Apple is looking at adding \u201cundo\u201d and \u201credo\u201d buttons in that same menu to make reversing or redoing changes easier.<\/p>\n<p>So, from now on \u2013 if you want to make a home screen change you don\u2019t quite feel sure about, Apple will allow you to easily undo it. Similarly, if you reverse something you actually might\u2019ve liked \u2013 you can just bring it back. It\u2019s unclear how far back the undo\/redo history will go, but it\u2019ll certainly be useful for rapidly iterating.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of this new undo and redo feature, iOS 27 will add a new <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/04\/17\/ios-27-rumored-to-bring-new-design-changes-in-two-key-areas\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liquid Glass slider<\/a> \u2013 allowing you to dial in exactly how you want your Liquid Glass to look, beyond just the current Clear and Tinted options of today.<\/p>\n<p>And as mentioned earlier, the real focus with iOS 27 will be on <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/11\/23\/apple-focusing-on-software-quality-improvements-ios-27-next-year-report\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">improved performance and stability<\/a>, likely resulting in <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/02\/15\/apple-code-cleanup-in-ios-27-for-better-battery-life-report\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">better battery life<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n<p>What are you looking forward to the most with iOS 27?
