Siri can recall past chats and use voicemails and Messages attachments, but stays unavailable in Europe and mainland China.
Apple rolled out 27.2 updates for iOS, macOS Golden Gate, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS, centered on Siri AI. Siri gains conversation memory, broader data access, an Excluded Apps control, and French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish. The release also adds Messages suggestions, SynthID support in Photos, Apple TV profiles, new Apple Music branding and Apple Pencil support on the iPhone Duo. Beta references to gesture recognition in Photos, Notes and Safari are tied only to unconfirmed reports of touch on a future MacBook Pro.
Unconfirmed: Touch support on the next MacBook Pro is unconfirmed and only inferred from beta references.
