Public Beta 2 for iOS 27.2 and macOS Golden Gate is Out
Apple's second public beta of iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS Golden Gate 27.2, tvOS 27.2, and watchOS 27.2 is now available, featuring a redesigned Health app and Siri in five new languages.
Apple has seeded the second public betas of its upcoming operating systems, including iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS Golden Gate 27.2, tvOS 27.2, and watchOS 27.2, MacRumors reports. The public betas arrive a day after the third developer betas were released.
To install the beta, sign up on Apple's beta testing website, then go to Settings and the Software Update section on each device. The update will appear under the "Beta Updates" option if you're enrolled.
The standout change in iOS 27.2 is the redesigned Health app Apple previewed at its September event. It now has Insights and Longevity tabs that give you a clearer picture of your health and fitness data, plus a Health Age feature that compares your fitness age to your actual age.
The Apple TV app gains new profile options. Siri AI is now available in French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.
MacRumors lists additional features in its iOS 27.2 guide. If you're considering the beta, know that beta software can have bugs and battery drain, so install it on a secondary device if possible.
