Apple Testing Two New iOS 27 Home Screen Customization Options

MacRumors • Sun, 19 Apr 2026

Apple is planning to add "Undo" and "Redo" options to the iPhone's Home Screen customization menu on iOS 27, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman . These two options will make it easier to reverse or redo your Home Screen changes. "Right now, when you long-press on the home screen, you get a bubble in the top left corner with four options: Add Widget, Customize, Edit Wallpaper and Edit Pages," he explained, in his latest Power On newsletter. "Apple is looking at adding 'undo' and 'redo' buttons in that same menu to make reversing or redoing changes easier." Other rumored iOS 27 features include a dedicated Siri app and Apple Intelligence advancements . The update has been likened to Mac OS X Snow Leopard , in the sense that Apple is apparently very focused on bug fixes and stability improvements. iOS 27 beta testing will begin in June, and the update will be released in September.

WWDC 2026 Graphic Teases Major iOS 27 Feature

Apple's WWDC 2026 graphic provides "a glimpse of the revamped Siri interface coming in iOS 27," according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman . In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman said iOS 27 will include a new Siri interface in the Dynamic Island . When you trigger Siri, he said the Dynamic Island will show a "Search or Ask" prompt, and this will apparently be accompanied by a "glowing cursor" that looks similar to how the "26" is highlighted in the WWDC 2026 graphic. There will also be a "thin glow" around the edges of the Dynamic Island when Siri is invoked, and in the search bar of a dedicated Siri app that will be preinstalled on iOS 27, according to Gurman. He previously reported that the Siri app will allow you to have back-and-forth conversations with Siri and view your conversation history. While the Dynamic Island is available on the iPhone 14 Pro and newer, at least some aspects of the upcoming Siri design will likely be limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and newer due to Apple Intelligence compatibility reasons. Apple announced that WWDC 2026 will run from Monday, June 8 through Friday, June 12 . At the annual developers conference, Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, visionOS 27, and more.
