iOS 27.2 beta 3 details
Apple released iOS 27.2 beta 3 to developers on Monday, with build number 24B5099f. This comes two weeks after the release of the second beta. A new public beta version was released on Tuesday, before a final version available to everyone before the end of the month.
What’s new in iOS 27.2 beta 3?
New Apple Music logo
Apple revealed a new Apple Music logo during the Apple Music Hall announcement last month, and iOS 27.2 beta 3 suggests it’s about to roll out everywhere. The new logo uses a bolder typeface than the old logo, plus a lowercase “m” in “music.”
Apple also started rolling it out to the Apple Music signup flow in iOS 27.2 beta 3.
New message settings in preparation
Code references in iOS 27.2 beta 3 suggest that Apple is working on a new setting that gives users more control over suggested actions that appear in the Messages app, such as the “Add to Calendar” button.
The code indicates that you will be able to disable suggested actions for individual apps, including Calendar, Reminders, Notes, and Maps. The change is not yet activated and it is possible that Apple will remove it before releasing it.
Apple Books design changes
As spotted by Beta Profiles on X, iOS 27.2 beta 3 brings new Liquid Glass design changes to the Apple Books app. There’s also a new progress bar to track your progress while reading a book.
