iOS 27.2 is launching soon<\/a> for all users, but Apple keeps introducing new updates with each beta release. Here are three changes added to iOS 27.2 this week.<\/p>\n

#1: Messages settings for new \u2018Suggestions\u2019 feature<\/p>\n

\"If<\/p>\n

The Messages app adds a \u2018Suggestions\u2019 feature<\/a> in iOS 27.2 that was originally meant for iOS 27.0, but was ultimately pulled from the summer beta.<\/p>\n

Suggestions let you quickly, conveniently take action on a message you received. For example, by creating a new calendar event or reminder based on the message\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

In iOS 27.2 beta 4, Apple added a new option to enable or disable different types of suggestions. Inside Settings \u21fe Apps \u21fe Messages \u21fe Suggested Actions, you\u2019ll now find toggles for five suggestion types:<\/p>\n

Add to Calendar<\/p>\n

Add to Reminders<\/p>\n

Add to Notes<\/p>\n

Show in Maps<\/p>\n

Flights and Packages<\/p>\n

#2: New Home app features for smart locks<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was a big week for Apple Home announcements. Joining the HomeView<\/a>, new Apple TV 4K<\/a>, HomePod mini 2<\/a>, and Apple Home collection<\/a>, the iOS 27.2 beta added a pair of Home app features for smart locks.<\/p>\n

As discovered by leaker pdfu, \u2018Lock After Closing<\/a>\u2019 is a new setting in the Home app when you have a compatible smart lock. It lets you choose how quickly your door should automatically lock itself after it\u2019s been closed.<\/p>\n

Similarly, pdfu found a new \u2018Door Left Open<\/a>\u2019 notification option. It lets you program automatic alerts to notify you if a door was left open. You can choose from \u2018Off\u2019 or after 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

#3: Apple Music\u2019s new icon and design updates<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

Apple Music introduced some unexpected design changes<\/a> in iOS 27.2 beta 4, including a new app icon, changed accent color, and refreshed widgets.<\/p>\n

Essentially, Apple has stripped the iconic red accent color from the Music app\u2019s branding. Now, app icons are a simple black and white, and widgets lose red backgrounds too in favor of black.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Music app\u2019s tab bar now uses a blue accent color for the currently active tab\u2014it was previously red.<\/p>\n

So far reception online to these changes seems overwhelmingly negative. It will be interesting to see if Apple reverts any of these design updates moving forward. Though they clearly appear part of a broader rebranding effort<\/a> for Apple Music.<\/p>\n

Have you been running the iOS 27.2 beta? How\u2019s it running for you? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
