A standalone Siri AI app, updates to Apple Intelligence and new Apple Pencil capabilities.
The next generation of Apple Intelligence arrives in iPadOS 27, powering an all-new Siri AI experience, integrating deeply across apps and expanding what’s possible with Apple Pencil. Here’s a tour.
Meet the all-new Siri AI
Powered by Apple Intelligence, Siri AI is an entirely new version of Siri that’s more personal, capable and conversational than ever. With broad world knowledge, understanding of your personal context, and awareness of what’s on your screen, Siri AI helps you find what you need – whether a confirmation number from an old email or an up-to-date answer on virtually any topic – without pulling you away from what you’re doing. With the dedicated Siri app, you can have a back-and-forth conversation – or revisit past conversations and pick up right where you left off. And use “Write with Siri” to draft from scratch or get feedback on what you’ve written.
The next generation of Apple Intelligence across apps
Apple Intelligence makes your everyday apps smarter and more useful. Safari supercharges your browsing by automatically organising your tabs by topic, notifying you of changes to webpages (such as price drops) and letting you create new extensions by describing them. The Shortcuts app can similarly create a shortcut based on your description. And Foundation Models are powering intelligent experiences in other everyday apps you use. Check them out in these apps.
Intelligence you can see
By using Siri mode in Camera, Visual Intelligence can now help you with everyday tasks such as getting nutritional information about your dinner or splitting the restaurant bill. When browsing apps, shopping for products or scrolling through images, take a screenshot to ask Siri AI about anything on your screen, whether you want to find a mid-century lamp or add concert dates to your calendar.
Power your creativity
Powerful new tools in Photos let you reframe a photo after it’s been taken with Spatial Reframing, expand your shots with the Extend tool and remove even larger objects with the enhanced Clean Up tool. Image Playground offers new ways to create images and the ability to modify them with just a description. Check out these apps that integrate Image Playground.
Get some parental peace of mind
A powerful update to parental controls helps parents manage what content kids can see, who they can communicate with and when they have access to apps. Just like Ask to Buy for apps, the all-new Ask to Browse lets kids send a request for each new website they want to visit. Communication Safety expands its protections to help keep conversations safe, while the Time Allowances feature makes it easy to manage the time children spend in apps across categories, including entertainment, games and social media.
Schedules let parents manage which apps kids can access at different times of day, across weekdays and weekends. And a redesigned Screen Time makes it easy to pause access, allow unlimited use or adjust a schedule right when you need to.
Unlock greater accessibility
Apple Intelligence is now powering accessibility features that users rely on for everyday tasks. VoiceOver delivers richer, more contextual image descriptions for users who are blind or who have low vision – covering receipts, bills, photographs and more – with the ability to ask questions about whatever is in the camera viewfinder. Voice Control lets users with physical disabilities navigate any app using natural language, simply by describing what they see on screen. And Accessibility Reader delivers a customised reading experience for a wide range of disabilities, with on-demand summaries and built-in translations.
An even more refined design
Updates to Liquid Glass ensure exceptional readability with more uniform refraction and improved contrast. A new slider lets you easily customise how Liquid Glass looks, from ultraclear to fully tinted.
Read between the strokes with Apple Pencil
iPadOS 27 brings the same powerful handwriting recognition in Notes and Reminders to more apps than ever, across a wide range of languages and alphabets. Write naturally with Apple Pencil, and watch your words become fully interactive, searchable text.
