As per the report, one of the most notable additions under testing is the introduction of Undo and Redo buttons. These enable the users to quickly reverse or reapply changes made while rearranging apps on the home screen. The feature is designed to make customization less frustrating, especially for users who accidentally move or delete apps while organizing their layout.Along with this, Apple is also testing a “Fill Empty Spaces” option, which would automatically move apps to fill gaps created when icons are removed or shifted. The feature is expected to streamline the Home Screen experience and also make sure that the users get a more cleaner and organized look without any manual adjustments. Both features are currently in testing and may appear in upcoming beta versions of iOS 27 before a wider rollout.
Apple’s iOS 27 may add redesigned Siri app with extensions support
Apple is preparing to unveil its next major software update — iOS 27 at its upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference scheduled to take place on June 8. According to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman the company is expected to introduced a redesigned Siri app with a new “Extensions” feature with iOS 27 update. As per the Bloomberg report, the new Extensions feature will enable the users to install third-party AI chatbots apart from ChatGPT and run them directly inside Siri.
