iPhone Duo now supports Apple Pencil with iOS 27.2

Apple has just released iOS 27.2, bringing Apple Pencil support to the iPhone Duo. The software update also includes an “Edge Light” feature for the iPhone Duo that’s intended to illuminate your face during video calls.

Apple previously said the iPhone Duo would add support for the Apple Pencil “later this year.” The company’s first foldable comes with revamped iOS 27 controls designed to work across the device’s 7.6-inch inner display and 5.4-inch outer screen. Many major apps, like Netflix, Prime Video, and Microsoft Outlook, already support the Duo’s extra screen real estate, but some still need some work.

The iOS 27.2 update also allows Siri AI to take suggested actions in Messages, while adding support for Siri AI in more languages, including French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. Apple is rolling out support for Google’s SynthID AI watermark in Photos and Image Playground, too, according to 9to5Mac.

Other smaller but notable updates include user profiles on the Apple TV app on iPhone. The Apple Podcasts app is also replacing its “Up Next” queue with a list of “New Episodes,” along with a “Continue Playing” section just beneath it. You’ll also see the new Apple Music logo. And group calls on FaceTime now support dual capture so you can show both what’s visible from your selfie cam and your back cameras.

Apple also released macOS 27.2 Golden Gate, watchOS 27.2, visionOS 27.2, tvOS 27.2, and HomePod 27.2.
