Apple’s redesigned Health app arrives in the iOS 27.2 developer beta, adding an Insights tab for daily metrics and a Longevity section featuring Health Age and movement assessments, plus dynamic health expert commentary. The update narrows the gap with rivals like Oura and Whoop and signals more features to come in future betas.
In the iOS 27.2 beta, Apple adds Siri AI in new languages (French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish); the launch version of iOS 27 remains English-only, with Apple signaling broader language support arriving in October, likely with the iOS 27.2 rollout.
The iOS 27.2 beta adds a redesigned Health app with new Insights and Longevity tabs. Insights shows your latest health data (Activity Rings, heart rate, sleep score, vitals) and will offer personalized guidance later; Longevity tracks health over time to estimate a Health Age using activity, VO2 max, sleep, and quick on-phone fitness tests. Apple plans a Quest Diagnostics lab panel that can contribute to Health Age, and you’ll be able to upload lab results for now. A readiness score for Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 helps determine recovery vs. push days. The revamped Health app requires an Apple Watch or compatible devices to shine, and it isn’t shipping with iOS 27.2 but will launch later this year.
The iOS 27.2 beta adds Apple TV user profiles to the iPhone, including child profiles with age-appropriate content restrictions, extending tvOS’s profile support to mobile devices and offering a ‘Don’t Show This Again’ option to streamline setup and keep watching history organized and safer for kids.

Apple has seeded the first iOS 27.2 beta to developers instead of iOS 27.1, likely to keep iPhone Duo details from leaking before the Duo’s launch on Oct 23; the 27.1 and 27.2 codebases are expected to converge later as development continues.
The iOS 27.2 beta previews a redesigned Health app powered by Apple Intelligence, offering Insights with personalized guidance, a Readiness score from newer Apple Watch models, and a Longevity section including Health Age and other health metrics. Some features (like labs ordering and personalized recommendations) aren’t available in the beta and will roll out later this year; at-home VO2 max tests and bloodwork panels from Quest are planned for the Health app but not yet live in the beta.
