Apple is reportedly experimenting with two new home screen customisation features in its upcoming iOS 27. According to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the upcoming iOS 27 customisation features will offer more control and flexibility to iPhone users.
Along with this, it will also enable them to choose how thy arrange and edit their apps. As reported by Bloomberg, the company is presently testing the Undo and Redo buttons for Home Screen edits and a new option to automatically fill empty spaces with apps.
Undo and Redo for home screen changes
As per the report, one of the most notable additions under testing is the introduction of Undo and Redo buttons. These enable the users to quickly reverse or reapply changes made while rearranging apps on the home screen.
The feature is designed to make customisation less frustrating, especially for users who accidentally move or delete apps while organising their layout.Along with this, Apple is also testing a “Fill Empty Spaces” option, which would automatically move apps to fill gaps created when icons are removed or shifted. The feature is expected to streamline the Home Screen experience and also make sure that the users get a more cleaner and organised look without any manual adjustments.
Both features are currently in testing and may appear in upcoming beta versions of iOS 27 before a wider rollout.
Apple’s iOS 27 may add redesigned Siri app with extensions support
Apple is preparing to unveil its next major software update — iOS 27 at its upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference scheduled to take place on June 8. According to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman the company is expected to introduced a redesigned Siri app with a new “Extentions” feature with iOS 27 update. As per the Bloomberg report, the new Extensions feature will enable the users to install third-party AI chatbots apart from ChatGPT and run them directly inside Siri. Along with this, Apple is said to create a dedicated App Store section for these integrations, effectively launching an AI marketplace. This approach of the company mirrors its historical strategy: offering built-in apps while allowing third-party alternatives, and taking a cut of revenue through its 30% App Store commission.
