Two iOS 27 features won’t ship in the initial release: one-tap Messages suggestions and automatic compromised-password fixes in the Passwords app will arrive in a later iOS 27 update (likely iOS 27.1 before Oct. 23); iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 are still set to launch on Sept. 14.
Apple says two iOS 27 features—Suggestions in Messages and automatic password changes via the Passwords app—won’t ship with the initial iOS 27 release and will return in a future software update, a change that also applies to iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 with no timeline given.
iOS 27, due to launch next week, brings a dedicated Siri app that syncs conversation history across iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro via iCloud; Messages introduces one-tap suggestions that act on the chat context, helping users find photos or perform tasks without typing full AI requests; and Calendar adds Smart Event Details, using Apple Intelligence to create events from natural-language input by automatically filling in title, time, location, and invites. These features reflect Apple’s push toward integrated, AI-assisted experiences across its apps.

iOS 27’s Messages gets one-tap suggestions powered by Apple Intelligence, a new Drawing iMessage app, upgrades to RCS (inline replies and reactions with potential edits/unsend), plus new settings for audio controls, consolidated notifications for tapbacks, smarter personalized Smart Replies, gore filtering for child accounts, and notable performance gains like faster sending/loading, quicker syncing across devices, and easier media management.
iOS 27’s Messages adds a customizable audio/dictation button, a built-in Drawing tool (with Apple Pencil support), and smart, one‑tap contextual suggestions to speed up tasks like sharing photos or adding events, all underpinned by stronger SiriAI that can pull media, extract details, and automate actions within chats—aiming for a faster, less frustrating messaging experience.
iOS 27 adds a dedicated Siri app with iCloud-synced conversations across devices, one-tap suggestions in Messages that can propose actions like reminders or photo selection, and Calendar's Smart Event Details, which lets you type natural-language event info and have it auto-fill title, time, location, and invites.
iOS 27 adds five notable features: expanded landscape mode across more built-in apps (with a collapsible Messages sidebar and Dynamic Island Live Activities support), Dual Capture for FaceTime on iPhone 17-series and iPhone Air, a new Drawing tool in Messages, Apple Cash Bill Splitting for US users via Wallet/Messages or Siri, and enhanced Find My location sharing with timed expirations and pause options. The update is in developer beta with a public beta expected in July and a September release anticipated.
iOS 27 beta 2 adds major RCS improvements to the Messages app, including proper reactions on Android instead of generic labels, in-line replies, and hints at further RCS 2.7 features like edit and unsend, plus ongoing end-to-end encryption, bringing RCS closer to iMessage parity.
iOS 27 for iPhone tackles three Messages annoyances: failed sends auto-retry in the background, media messages sending independently with their own progress, and improved cross-device syncing of conversations.
iOS 26.5 adds end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging in the Messages app by default (in beta). Encryption depends on both participants’ carriers, so not every conversation may be encrypted. To verify, open a chat’s details, scroll to the bottom, and check the status message: it will say whether the conversation is encrypted end-to-end or not (a lock icon may appear for some chats).
