Apple has released the fourth developer beta of iOS 27, introducing minor feature tweaks including automatic TV episode downloads and new camera settings. The update also refines Siri's voice interface and accessibility options ahead of the final release.
Why it matters
These updates provide insight into the final feature set of the upcoming iOS release, impacting developers and early adopters.
Apple is continuing to tweak iOS 27 ahead of its September launch, and the fourth developer beta is available as of today. There are fewer changes than in prior betas, but Apple is still adding new features.
In the Settings section of the Apple TV app, there's a new Automatic Downloads toggle. Turning it on will automatically download the next two episodes of shows you start in Continue Watching. They'll be deleted when you finish the episodes.
There is a "Zoom Photos to Fill" toggle in the Photos section of the Settings app. It slightly zooms photos that nearly match the screen's aspect ratio, and it is turned on by default.
Apple has removed the wallpaper feature that it added in the Notification Center in beta 3. When swiping, you would see a cutout of the subject of your wallpaper on the Home Screen , but that's no longer available.
