Apple introduced iOS 27 at its annual WWDC, showcasing a multitude of new features. Currently, developers are refining the software, and iOS 27 beta 2 includes several notable enhancements.
One of the standout additions is 'Write with Siri,' which replaces the previous standalone Writing Tools. A shortcut for 'Write with Siri' will now be available on your keyboard, enabling not just text creation based on your commands but also proofreading and rewriting capabilities.
A significant upgrade from the old Writing Tools is the full integration with Siri. This integration allows Siri to utilize information from messages, emails, and other documents it has access to.

The Apple Wallet app also sees a new Spending Insights feature in beta 2. Users can now access a day-by-day (or monthly or yearly) breakdown of their expenditures. While this feature was introduced in beta 1, beta 2 expands its availability to additional regions.

It is important to note that the current iOS 27 betas are intended for developers and are not recommended for daily use. Open betas will be released later, with a stable version expected to launch in September alongside the new iPhone 18 Pro models.
