iOS 27.2 public beta 2 includes Health app

The second public beta of iOS 27.2 is out, and it brings the new Health app to iPhone, reports 9to5Mac.

Apple has released the second public beta of iOS 27.2, and it comes with the new Health app for iPhone, according to 9to5Mac.

iOS 27.2 is the update that follows the official iOS 27 launch on September 14. iOS 27.1, meanwhile, is only for the iPhone Duo, which means iPhone owners jump straight from iOS 27 to this beta.

The second beta is available through both Apple's public beta program and the developer channel. 9to5Mac reports that the first iOS 27.2 public beta included changes as well, though the report doesn't list what they were.

The final version of iOS 27.2 is slated for release later this month. If you're already on the beta track, you can update via the Settings app's Software Update section. Everyone else can wait for the official rollout.
