Apple rolls out iOS 27.2 with expanded Siri AI languages and conversation memory

Apple released its 27.2 system updates on Monday, bringing expanded conversational capabilities and new language support to Siri AI across its product lineup. The assistant can now recall previous user conversations and search deeper personal sources, including voicemails, calendar invitees, and images received in Messages. Siri AI also expands beyond English to support French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish on compatible hardware, including the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the iPhone 16 family or newer.

The update gives users granular text selection for copying Siri responses, an Excluded Apps privacy setting to restrict data access, and support for Google's SynthID watermarking for artificial intelligence images. The foldable iPhone Duo also gained Apple Pencil compatibility and the macOS Edge Light feature. Apple notes that Siri AI remains in beta, requires users to be at least 13 years old, and is currently blocked on iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS in the European Union. [2][4]

Looking ahead, Apple plans to add Chinese (traditional), Norwegian, Turkish, and Vietnamese to Siri AI by the end of the year, likely targeting the iOS 27.3 release. While Traditional Chinese support is imminent, 9to5Mac highlights that the assistant will remain unavailable in mainland China, even as other Apple Intelligence tools begin launching there. [3][4]
