iOS 27.2 to Bring Dual Capture to Group FaceTime

Apple's upcoming iOS 27.2 adds Dual Capture for Group FaceTime, a split Apple Podcasts queue, and user profiles in the Apple TV app on iPhone.

Apple is preparing iOS 27.2, a forthcoming iPhone update that expands Dual Capture to Group FaceTime calls, according to 9to5mac.com. The feature, introduced in iOS 27, lets compatible iPhones show the front and rear camera views at the same time.

In iOS 27, Dual Capture is limited to one-on-one calls. iOS 27.2 removes that restriction for group calls.

The update also reworks the Apple Podcasts queue. The current "Up Next" list is split into two sections: "New Episodes" and "Continue Playing."

On the Apple TV app, iOS 27.2 adds user profiles on iPhone for the first time. The Apple TV app already supports profiles on tvOS.

The release follows iOS 27.0.1, which launched yesterday. Apple has not announced a release date for iOS 27.2.
