Apple Releases iOS 27.3 Betas With 15-Second Siri Recap and Redesigned Health App

3 articles · Updated · MacRumors · Nov 6

Summary

  • Apple’s first iOS 27.3 betas expand Siri across its own apps, adding actions such as unsubscribing from emails, organizing files, managing Safari tabs, and controlling Weather alerts.
  • A new developer preview pushes that further by letting third parties build custom Siri actions and multi-step skills, with App Store submissions for those integrations set to open in the spring.
  • Safari gains vertical tabs and Adaptive Dark Mode, while Apple Watch adds Live Rewind transcripts of the previous 15 seconds and Siri Recap conversation summaries with time- and location-based controls.
  • Fitness+ adds Gym Strength—personalized four-week plans based on equipment and preferences—while the redesigned Health app brings back Insights and Longevity sections to turn tracked data into clearer guidance.
  • The beta also spreads iPhone Duo-style StandBy displays to more iPhones and adds Apple Music features including enhanced transitions, concert recommendations, and Selfie Sing karaoke videos.
