Apple has released developer beta 2 for iPadOS 27, bringing the latest refinements and changes to the forthcoming iPad software update.

Apple releases developer beta 2 for iPadOS 27

Earlier this month after its WWDC unveiling, Apple released the first developer beta for iPadOS 27.

Now today, iPadOS 27 beta 2 has arrived.

iPad users will find the update inside Settings ⇾ General ⇾ Software Update.

Major new features and changes in iPadOS 27 include:

• Siri AI, which requires joining a waitlist first
• New features in apps like Messages, Notes, Photos, and Reminders
• Design refinements plus a Liquid Glass slider
• and more

We’re expecting a variety of additional changes in today’s beta 2 release. At a minimum the update should include bug fixes and performance improvements—but potentially new features and design tweaks too.

More information about Apple’s developer program is available at developer.apple.com. Anyone can join for free to get access to the betas.
