iOS 27.2 Is Ready to Download. Here's How to Get It
Software Updates·October 27, 2026

Apple's iOS 27.2 update is now available for iPhone owners, and it can be installed over the air without a computer. Anyone who wants the latest software on their device can get it from the Software Update section of the Settings app.
To install it, open Settings, tap General, then Software Update. If the update appears, tap Download and Install and enter your passcode when prompted. Keep the phone plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi during the process, since the download can be large and the installation takes a while.
Before updating, back up the device to iCloud or a computer so your data can be restored if something goes wrong. Apple's official release notes list the specific changes in each build and show which devices support it, so they are the best place to check what arrived with 27.2 before you install.
