Apple previews three iOS 27.2 features for upcoming iPhone update
The upcoming iOS 27.2 update will add Dual Capture to Group FaceTime, split the Podcasts ‘Up Next’ queue and bring TV app user profiles to iPhone.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Apple has detailed three new features slated for the forthcoming iOS 27.2 update, according to 9to5Mac.
What happened
The company plans to extend Dual Capture—currently limited to one‑on‑one FaceTime calls—to Group FaceTime, allowing simultaneous front and rear camera views. In Apple Podcasts, the existing ‘Up Next’ queue will be divided into a ‘New Episodes’ section and a new ‘Continue Playing’ hub for in‑progress shows. The Apple TV app will also gain user‑profile support on iPhone, letting users select profiles that tailor content recommendations and enforce age‑appropriate limits.
What the reports add
9to5Mac notes that the Dual Capture feature can be activated with a ‘Flip’ button, and that the new Podcasts layout aims to reduce clutter. The TV app profile screen appears on first launch of the app in iOS 27.2, with an option to disable it permanently.
What was said
“I’m very excited to see this change,” the 9to5Mac author wrote about the Podcasts overhaul.
How it came about
iOS 27 launched on 2026‑09‑28, followed by a quick 27.0.1 bug‑fix patch and ongoing performance improvements detailed in earlier Felo coverage. The upcoming 27.2 update builds on those changes, adding new camera, audio and TV app capabilities.
