The Messages app is arguably the most important app on the iPhone, and in iOS 27, Apple is adding some useful improvements. There are some quality-of-life fixes for longtime issues, and new AI features.
Contextual Suggestions
Messages uses Apple Intelligence to surface one-tap suggestions based on what's being discussed in a conversation. If someone you're talking to asks you to send a photo, Messages recognizes the request and suggests adding the relevant photos.
If someone invites you to an event, Messages offers to add it to your Calendar. If someone asks you to pick something up at the store, Messages will suggest adding it to your Reminders list or to the Notes app.
Messages will also suggest Genmoji you might want to generate based on the conversation.
Write With Siri
There's a systemwide Write with Siri feature that's available in the Messages app. Siri AI can compose entire messages for you, proofread your messages, or give you feedback.
