Two iOS 27 Features Won't Be Ready for Monday's Launch

Two iOS 27 features need a little more time in testing and won't be shipping until a future update, even though they were present during the beta period. Suggestions in Messages conversations and the option to automatically fix compromised passwords with a tap will not be in the initial version of &zwnj;iOS 27&zwnj;, and will instead launch in a later version of &zwnj;iOS 27&zwnj;. Apple noted the delays on its iOS 27 page , as well as its iPadOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate pages as these are cross-platform features. For the password update feature, the Passwords app uses Apple Intelligence and Safari to fix compromised passwords in the background without the user needing to do so manually In the Messages app, &zwnj;Apple Intelligence&zwnj; surfaces one-tap suggestions based on what's being discussed in a conversation. If someone you're talking to asks you to send a photo or complete a task, Messages recognizes the request and suggests action on the information with the relevant apps. We already know that an iOS 27.1 update will be coming before October 23 because the iPhone Duo comes out on that date and ships with it pre-installed. We could potentially get the new features as soon as iOS 27.1. &zwnj;iOS 27&zwnj; and &zwnj;iPadOS 27&zwnj; will launch to the public on Monday, September 14.
