Apple has launched the second developer beta for the upcoming iOS 27, and it's not just bug fixes and polish (there's plenty of that, too).

The new iOS 27 beta actually brings several new features to the table, including some fairly big Siri upgrades. Let's dive in.

One of the biggest upgrades in iOS 27 is the new, smarter Siri, but not every feature we expected made the grade in the first developer beta. Now, in iOS 27 beta 2, Apple has added a few extra features and paved the way for more to come in future releases.

The most significant update is the new "Write with Siri" button which appears at the top of the keyboard in several Apple apps, including Messages, Notes, and Mail. The tool was previously available but only when you selected text in these apps; now you can start writing with Siri's help right away.

Apple also fine-tuned some existing features. For example, in the standalone Siri app, you can now select and delete multiple conversations, instead of having to do it one by one.
