Two features that appeared during the iOS 27 beta will not be ready when the software launches to the public, Apple has confirmed. The company says both need additional testing and will roll out in a later update rather than the initial release.

Which features are delayed

The two features held back are Suggestions in Messages conversations and the ability to automatically fix compromised passwords with a single tap. Both rely on Apple Intelligence and were present during the beta period, but they will not appear in the version of iOS 27 that ships on Monday.

Apple noted the delays directly on its iOS 27 page, and because these are cross-platform capabilities, the same notes appear on its iPadOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate pages.

How the features are meant to work

The password feature uses Apple Intelligence and Safari within the Passwords app to repair compromised passwords in the background, removing the need for users to update them manually.

In Messages, Apple Intelligence surfaces one-tap suggestions based on the flow of a conversation. If someone asks you to send a photo or complete a task, Messages recognizes the request and offers to act on it using the relevant apps.

When the features could arrive

An iOS 27.1 update is already expected before October 23, as the iPhone Duo launches on that date and ships with the software preinstalled. That update is the most likely candidate to bring the delayed features to existing devices, though Apple has not committed to a specific timeline.

iOS 27 launch timing

iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 will be released to the public on Monday, September 14. Delaying individual features past a major software launch is a familiar pattern for Apple, which has previously shipped headline capabilities in point updates weeks or months after the initial release.

For most users, the change means the core iOS 27 experience arrives on schedule, while these two Apple Intelligence conveniences will follow once Apple is confident they are stable.
