Here\u2019s what\u2019s new for iPhone personalization.<\/p>\n<p>#1: Exclude apps from Siri and Search<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/siri-ai-orb-generic-wwdc.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1065386\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside Settings \u21fe Siri there\u2019s a new \u2018Excluded Apps\u2019 section in iOS 27.2. This makes it easier than ever to remove certain apps from being accessible to Siri, Search, and more. Apple says:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apps added to the list below will be excluded from Siri, Search, and suggestions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Siri AI, Siri can do more than ever before. But if there are certain apps you want off-limits, whether for privacy reasons or otherwise, you can add them to this list. For example, if there\u2019s an app with a similar name to something else, adding it to the \u2018Excluded Apps\u2019 list can ensure Siri won\u2019t mistakenly think you\u2019re referencing that app anymore.<\/p>\n<p>#2: Customize Messages suggestions<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/messages-suggestions-ios-27-example.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1072166\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iOS 27.2 adds a <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/10\/27\/ios-27-2-adds-new-messages-feature-thats-already-a-favorite\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1072162\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">new Messages feature<\/a> called Suggestions that I\u2019m a big fan of. When relevant content is detected in a conversation, you might see a Suggestion appear underneath a message. For example, if a friend asks you to do them a favor, you might see \u201cAdd to Reminders\u201d below the message.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By default there are five supported categories of Suggestions:<\/p>\n<p>Add to Calendar<\/p>\n<p>Add to Reminders<\/p>\n<p>Add to Notes<\/p>\n<p>Show in Maps<\/p>\n<p>Flights and Packages<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can fully customize these to your own preferences and needs. Just go to Settings \u21fe Apps \u21fe Messages \u21fe Suggested Actions to disable whichever Suggestions you don\u2019t want to see.<\/p>\n<p>#3: Apple TV user profiles<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/apple-tv-profiles-ios-27-2-jb.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1077773\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Historically, Apple TV has only ever supported user profiles on tvOS. It\u2019s an odd limitation considering every other streaming service offers profiles across platforms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But finally with iOS 27.2, profiles are now available on iPhone too, letting you customize the content in the Apple TV app based on who\u2019s watching.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing a profile not only gives you personalized recommendations from Apple TV, it also lets you keep the \u2018Continue Watching\u2019 queue separate for each person. And if you\u2019re setting up a profile for a child, you can set content restrictions too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more iOS 27.2 coverage, <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/guides\/ios-27-2\/\" data-type=\"ninetofive_guides\" data-id=\"590185320\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">see our full guide here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Best iPhone accessories<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5mac.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/1794005412_422_google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/1794005413_322_google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"iOS 27.2 launched last week with a lot of new features, and also several ways you can customize&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":677165,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[61,60,202,80],"class_list":["post-677164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677164","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=677164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677164\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/677165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=677164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=677164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=677164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
