iPadOS 27.2 Adds Siri Popup and Apple TV Profiles
Apple's iPadOS 27.2 update brings a Siri contextual popup for selected text and user profiles in the Apple TV app on iPad.
Apple is preparing to release iPadOS 27.2 later this month, bringing two notable features to the iPad: a new Siri contextual popup and user profiles in the Apple TV app.
The Siri popup appears when text is selected with a trackpad or mouse. Hovering over the selection expands it into an 'Ask Siri' text field. The popup also offers writing suggestions such as 'Proofread,' 'Rewrite,' and 'How does this sound?'.
In the Apple TV app, iPadOS 27.2 introduces user profiles. A profile selection screen appears at startup, and each profile adjusts the queue, playback history and recommendations. Profiles also respect content restrictions based on age settings.
The Siri contextual popup first debuted on the Mac in macOS Golden Gate, according to 9to5mac.com. The Apple TV app profiles feature is already offered on Apple TV 4K via tvOS.
