Apple is continuing to refine iOS 27<\/a> ahead of its planned September launch, and the third beta includes several new features. Siri<\/a> is more customizable, there’s a fun new wallpaper action, and some useful improvements to Photos<\/a> and Shortcuts.<\/p>\n

\"iOS<\/p>\n

Siri Voice<\/p>\n

Beta 3 adds support for \u200cSiri\u200c voice customization on compatible devices. The customization option existed in prior betas, but it was not active. It’s now usable, and you can customize the pace and expressivity of \u200cSiri\u200c, with two base voice options available right now.<\/p>\n

\"ios
\u200cSiri\u200c voice customization requires an iPhone 17 Pro<\/a> or an iPhone Air<\/a> because it uses on-device processing.<\/p>\n

Live Recognition<\/p>\n

In Accessibility, Apple added a new Live Recognition section. Live Recognition uses on-device intelligence to detect and describe things around you with the camera app. The feature is able to answer questions about what it sees, with an option to set a default question. There’s also support for custom activities.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

Reminders<\/p>\n

The Reminders app has an updated icon with Liquid Glass to-do list bullets.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

Photos<\/p>\n

In the \u200cPhotos\u200c section of the Settings app, there’s a new Show Rating Controls toggle. It displays star ratings on photos and videos, and shows a rating badge on thumbnails.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

Control Center<\/p>\n

In Control Center, you can see details about your cellular connection even when connected to Wi-Fi. It shows signal strength and whether you’re connected to LTE or 5G.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

Shortcuts<\/p>\n

You can now choose whether to open to the Describe a Shortcut interface or the manual Shortcuts editor when creating a new shortcut.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

Wallpaper<\/p>\n

When you swipe down into the notification center, a cutout of the subject of your wallpaper now appears first over the Home Screen<\/a> or app you’re using.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

AirPods<\/p>\n

The Adaptive setting on the AirPods has a slider that lets you select more transparency or more noise cancellation.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

Home App<\/p>\n

Apple clarified that Apple Intelligence<\/a> features in the Home app will require a 2GB iCloud+ plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Maps<\/p>\n

Apple added a tooltip to make it clearer that route preferences haven’t been eliminated and can be accessed by tapping under the options interface when getting directions.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

Lock Screen<\/p>\n

The Control Center buttons on the Lock Screen now have black icons instead of white icons with some wallpaper. <\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

5G in India<\/p>\n

5G+ is now available<\/a> in India on supported carriers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple is continuing to refine iOS 27 ahead of its planned September launch, and the third beta includes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":513913,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[204,61,87728,60,202,80],"class_list":["post-536573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-featured","tag-ie","tag-ios-27","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=536573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/513913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=536573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=536573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=536573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
