The main new feature of iOS 27 is a smarter and more personal version of Siri, but the changes go beyond that. In a press conference today, Apple revealed additional improvements coming to Apple Maps, Find My, Apple Wallet, Apple Music, and more.<\/p>\n
Apple Maps has received an improved AI-powered Flyover experience, which lets you view aerial photos in “amazing detail” over certain cities.<\/p>\n
In the US, Apple Maps also got a new location listings feature, which reveals things like trending restaurants and kid-friendly places to visit.<\/p>\n
In the Find My app, you will have the ability to share your location with others for a custom time, such as four days and six hours. Or, you can set a specific date and time for your location sharing to expire. In addition, you can now stop sharing your location with certain people until the end of the day.<\/p>\n

In iOS 26 and earlier, there are only three timers available: forever, until the end of the day, and one hour.<\/p>\n
In the US, iOS 27 lets you split bills with a new feature powered by Apple Cash and Apple Intelligence. This capability is available in the Messages and Apple Wallet apps, or by using the new Siri mode in the Camera app.<\/p>\n
“When users point their iPhone at a receipt using Siri mode, it can trigger the appropriate action to split the bill with Apple Cash and identify the items on the receipt,” Apple said. “As users select their items, their total payment is calculated, including their share of tax and tip, so they can get back exactly what they owe with Apple Cash.”<\/p>\n

You can now create custom passes in Apple Wallet from physical cards, such as loyalty or membership cards. With Siri mode in the Camera app, you can simply point your iPhone at any physical card with a barcode and store it in Apple Wallet. Once added, the passes are ready to display as a barcode or QR code right on the iPhone.<\/p>\n
iOS 27 provides an improved Apple Wallet key experience for participating hotels and resorts. You can view more details about your trip, get updates about booked activities, access services available during your stay, and more.<\/p>\n
Apple Pay’s checkout flow on the web and in apps is getting an updated design that lets you swipe to switch payment cards. And if you have an eligible card in Apple Wallet, it will come with additional information, including rewards balances, debit account balances, pay later options, and more.<\/p>\n
As part of the Tap to Pay feature on iPhone, the new Tap to Share functionality lets you connect to a participating small business owner’s iPhone and securely share shipping information, email addresses, loyalty rewards, and more. <\/p>\n
In the Apple Podcasts app, there is a new “search within a show” feature.<\/p>\n
In the Photos app, iCloud Shared Albums now supports full resolution sharing, multiple file types, emoji reactions, and more. Even people without an Apple device can now join and contribute photos to these shared albums on the web.<\/p>\n
In the Apple Music app, Apple said the AutoMix feature has “the best changes” that feel “more immersive and engaging for listeners.” Introduced in iOS 26, AutoMix adds seamless, DJ-like transitions between songs.<\/p>\n
Apple Music’s Lyrics Translation feature extends to seven additional language pairings: English to French, English to German, English to Italian, English to Korean, English to Spanish, French to English, and Japanese to English.<\/p>\n
Apple’s press release provides more details about these features and a few others.<\/p>\n
iOS 27 is currently available in developer beta, with a public beta to follow in July. The update is expected to be released in September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
