Apple has released iOS 27.2 beta 2 to developers today, continuing to polish the update with a handful of improvements and bug fixes. Let’s take a look at what’s new so far. ![what's-new-ios-27.2-beta-2](https://forum.betaprofiles.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8a56b295fbf7dae3ea480b6d91170d958be29de2.jpeg) - [How to download iOS 27.2 Developer Beta for free, no need beta profile →](https://forum.betaprofiles.com/t/how-to-download-ios-27-2-developer-beta-for-free-no-need-beta-profile/13412) In case you missed it, here’s everything added in beta 1: [What’s New in iOS 27.2 Beta 1](https://forum.betaprofiles.com/t/whats-new-in-ios-27-2-beta-1/23299) * * * **iOS 27.2 Developer Beta 2** **Build:** `24B5089g ` **Released:** September 21, 2026 * * * ## Bug Fixes 🐞 - Many users reported being unable to download new apps or previously downloaded apps from the App Store on iOS 27.2 beta 1 and iPadOS 27.2 beta 1. This issue has been fixed in beta 2. - The “Hide Alerts” icon for pinned conversations in the Messages app has returned. - The Wi-Fi signal strength being displayed in reverse order in the Wi-Fi network list in Control Center has been fixed. ## Status Bar The status bar icons and clock are smaller again, just like they were in iOS 26 and the earlier iOS 27 betas. They had been slightly larger since iOS 27 RC. [https://x.com/BetaProfiles/status/2102399679376019926](https://x.com/BetaProfiles/status/2102399679376019926) ## Restrict Motion Data According to _[IThome](https://www.ithome.com/1/006/022.htm)_ _(via MacRumors)_, users in China have spotted a new Restrict Motion Data option under Settings \> Privacy & Security \> Motion & Fitness. Adding an app to the list blocks its access to accelerometer and gyroscope data. Apple hasn’t explained what the option is for, though some speculate it’s meant to stop apps from triggering shake to open ad redirects, a common annoyance in China. The setting only shows up for App Store accounts registered in mainland China. ![ios 27.2 beta 2 restrict motion date settings](https://forum.betaprofiles.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/78bc8cd684891692ef45e51762b62358acbc04bc.jpeg) ## Code Discoveries Other than the small tweaks above, this update doesn’t seem to bring any other visual changes, apart from a few code level findings spotted by @aaronp613. - “Overwrite Storage” has been renamed to “Extended Erase.” This option was [already present in beta 1](https://forum.betaprofiles.com/t/whats-new-in-ios-27-2-beta-1/23299#p-25883-overwrite-iphone-storage-10). - iOS 27.2 beta 2 is preparing a demo mode for “HomePad,” the rumored HomePod-like smart speaker with a display. [https://x.com/aaronp613/status/2102105007977861137](https://x.com/aaronp613/status/2102105007977861137) [https://x.com/aaronp613/status/2102108085208621313](https://x.com/aaronp613/status/2102108085208621313) There are also a few code changes that haven’t been enabled in iOS 27.2 beta yet and that I hadn’t reported previously: - A countdown timer for upcoming albums on Apple Music. - The “Describe a Shortcut” feature in the Shortcuts app will expand to support third-party apps. It currently only supports actions developed by Apple.

A few other small changes: - Podcasts toolbar slightly redesigned (items in the overflow menu now have SF Symbols and Select is now its own button outside the overflow menu) - Podcasts search bar now says “Shows, Episodes, and More” instead of “Apple Podcasts”; now consistent with search bars in Music, TV, etc - Maps \> Reports “New Report” button is now smaller, right-aligned, and does not have “Report a New Issue” text ---

Ahh, I don’t have Family Sharing set up, so nothing changed in the UI for me. ---

I think it only changes, if all your devices are updated. So if you have old devices (like me) that don’t support iOS 27 you don’t get anything…. ---

The status bar size has been reverted ![IMG_4881](https://forum.betaprofiles.com/uploads/default/original/2X/d/dddae98070b84d3202af0a8d75700f08dfbb9f87.jpeg) ---

You’re right, they reverted the status bar in iOS 27, making the icons look smaller. ---

If you swipe up really really fast, the apps bounce on your Home Screen. I think the bounce effect is higher then in iOS 26. ![IMG_4943](https://forum.betaprofiles.com/uploads/default/original/2X/e/ed6dc72f66871687d65a0e81f6aa3e13824f8191.gif) ---

It reacts based on how quickly you swipe up from the Lock Screen. The faster you swipe, the more the icons bounce. ---

I don’t know if this is beta 1, but FaceTime live captions are now Liquid Glass (doesn’t show in screenshots) and I think the ‘…’ menu is more to the right ![IMG_4890](https://forum.betaprofiles.com/uploads/default/original/2X/d/da6f91b24f8efed852cd3a4cd34ce7d8ed4f5cf2.jpeg) ---

iOS 27.2 brings the Writing Tools back with a new refreshed design: ![IMG_4955](https://forum.betaprofiles.com/uploads/default/original/2X/5/57fc1c11bd7316c38c43c60c7578cb9b7c74fe1d.jpeg) ---

On my iOS 27.0 it doesn’t work for me; it only sometimes appears on the keyboard, but it never appears in Siri. ![image](https://forum.betaprofiles.com/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0f20f07d05707593c112d8491d93bb9f5193d461.jpeg) ---

You can do it like this: Select the text, then tap the Siri Suggestions icon on the keyboard. You’ll then see Proofread and Rewrite appear in the Dynamic Island. [Next page](https://forum.betaprofiles.com/t/whats-new-in-ios-27-2-beta-2/23304.md?page=2)
