Apple is expanding Siri AI beyond English in the iOS 27.2 beta, adding support for French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. The change follows the launch version of iOS 27, where Siri AI is limited to English.

The new language support is currently identified in the beta version of iOS 27.2. Apple has previously said that additional Siri AI languages would arrive in October, making an October release for iOS 27.2 likely, although the company has not been stated as confirming a specific launch date for the update.

Which languages does Siri AI support?

The iOS 27.2 beta includes five new languages for Siri AI:

  • French
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Portuguese
  • Spanish

These additions expand the feature beyond its initial English-only availability in iOS 27. The update gives Apple a broader language rollout for Siri AI while keeping the feature in beta ahead of the expected release.

When will iOS 27.2 launch?

Apple previously said that new Siri AI languages would be available in October. Based on that timing, iOS 27.2 is likely to launch during October, since the beta currently contains the language additions. Apple has not provided a more specific release date in the available information.

The beta status also means the language support is part of testing before the update reaches its launch version. Features included during beta testing can still change before release, so the final availability of these languages will depend on Apple's completed iOS 27.2 rollout.

What the update means for Siri AI

The expansion is an important step in Apple's Siri AI rollout. iOS 27 initially restricted the feature to English, while iOS 27.2 is positioned to extend it to five more languages at once. That makes the upcoming update the next major language expansion for Siri AI after its debut.

For users of French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, or Spanish, the iOS 27.2 beta indicates that support is being prepared. Users should look for Apple's final release before treating the new language options as broadly available.
