Mais apps são atualizados com suporte ao iOS 27, à Siri AI e mais

Falamos aqui ontem sobre um punhado de aplicativos que foram atualizados com suporte às novidades do iOS 27, incluindo (e especialmente) o suporte à Siri AI.

Fato é que alguns outros apps também receberam atualizações com essa mesma proposta — além, é claro, de incluir outras novidades. Vamos conferi-los a seguir.

Tripsy

Além de suporte ao iOS 27, o Tripsy — que apareceu na keynote da Apple, diga-se — foi atualizado com algumas outras novidades e melhorias que estão disponíveis como parte dos recursos do Tripsy Pro, entre elas:

  • Smart Import: importe atividades, locais e reservas de qualquer URL ou documento usando o analisador baseado em IA.
  • Smart Insights: utilizando os Apple Foundation Models, o aplicativo analisa e compreende o conteúdo de documentos, anexos e emails relacionados às atividades, extraindo apenas as informações relevantes e úteis para apresentá-las aos usuários.

Falando de melhorias, agora é possível encontrar todos os hotéis da sua viagem nas sugestões de localização e dispensar sugestões de partida de aeroportos de que não precisa mais. Ademais, foram aprimoradas as estatísticas de viagem, a estabilidade do mapa e os layouts de importação no Mac.

Por fim, também foi adicionado suporte ao widget extragrande no iPhone para uma melhor visualização do itinerário.

Loop

O player de podcasts Loop ganhou, na sua atualização mais recente, suporte à Siri e aos Atalhos, bem como ao recurso gestos de cabeça dos AirPods compatíveis para pular capítulos de episódios mesmo com o app em segundo plano.

Outras novidades incluem:

  • Personalidades do Loop: nas configurações (em “Sobre mim”), agora é possível definir as personalidades que o Loop usará ao gerar o texto da seção “Para você”.
  • Métricas e estatísticas de escuta: três anéis para você acompanhar seus objetivos de escuta diários e mensais, acompanhando quantos episódios foram finalizados no mês, tempo de escuta diário e variedade de podcasts escutados.
  • Novos widgets: agora é possível ver o texto da seção “Para você” na Tela de Início em dois tamanhos de widgets (pequeno e médio) além de também ser possível ver seus anéis das métricas de escuta nas Telas de Início e Bloqueada.
  • O que ouvir em seguida: seção onde novos episódios dos podcasts que você marcou como favoritos e fixados são mostrados para fácil acesso.

O app também recebeu diversas melhorias em áreas como reprodutor de podcasts, busca e episódios baixados, além de uma melhor performance com o app em segundo plano, consumindo muito menos processamento e bateria.

FitWoody

Mais do que o suporte à Siri AI, que possibilita registrar dados por voz com ajuda da assistente, o app de saúde FitWoody agora também permite encontrar informações facilmente com o Spotlight e conta com suporte ampliado ao Handoff. O app também ganhou uma versão nativa para o macOS.

Quanto às melhorias, agora o FitWoody abre diretamente na própria tela, bem como sua pontuação do sono responde a cada noite à medida que ela acontece, de modo que a tela inicial já está completa logo pela manhã.

Steady

O aplicativo de treino Steady chegou à versão 3.0, que tem como destaque o recurso Importação Mágica — de modo que uma foto da ficha da academia, um PDF ou uma mensagem vira um programa de treino editável. Esse recurso usa os novos modelos de IA da Apple em iPhones compatíveis com Apple Intelligence e iOS 27, sem exigir o Steady Pro.

Além disso, o app ganhou planejamento de programas mais inteligente, navegador de programas, recuperação do treino, entre outros recursos.

A atualização também traz drop sets e deixa o app do Apple Watch mais completo, com lista de exercícios, registro de esforço pela Digital Crown e resumo do treino, reduzindo a necessidade de pegar o iPhone enquanto ele permanece por perto.

Ulysses

Já o popular aplicativo de escrita Ulysses ganhou, graças às capacidades da Siri AI, reconhecimento de contexto na tela e um botão dedicado na barra de ferramentas do macOS que abre a nova interface da assistente para escrever, reescrever, revisar e realizar outras tarefas com texto.

Ainda com relação à barra de ferramentas do aplicativo, agora é possível que os usuários a personalizem totalmente com botões de navegação, blocos, espaços, sugestões e muito mais.

We just released a very nice update across all platforms. The new version is ready for OS 27, features support for Siri AI, and introduces a fully customizable toolbar on macOS.

The update is available now. You can find the release notes on our website.https://t.co/TO7PFbVjGt

A atualização também inclui novos ícones de grupo com pictogramas e aprimora o suporte à acessibilidade “ao editar condições de filtro e ícones de grupo”. Por fim, o app recebeu ajustes visuais para melhor alinhar ao visual do iOS 27 e do macOS Golden Gate 27.

Apple software updates bring Siri AI and faster performance across devices

Apple software updates for 2026 are now reaching supported devices, bringing iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, visionOS 27, and tvOS 27 out of preview and into everyday use. The releases place Siri AI and the next generation of Apple Intelligence at the center, but many of the changes extend well beyond generative AI.

The updates began rolling out September 14. Alongside new intelligence features, Apple has made measurable performance changes to iPhone and iPad, overhauled several parental controls, refined the Liquid Glass interface introduced across its platforms, improved search, and added smaller changes to services including iCloud Shared Albums, Maps, AirPods, and Health.

Siri AI is initially rolling out as a beta in English. Apple says French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish support is scheduled for October, making some of the headline functionality a staggered release rather than something every user receives immediately after installing the new operating systems.

Apple software updates make Siri AI a cross-device feature

Siri AI is built around personal context, onscreen awareness, expanded app actions, and access to current information from the web. The assistant can draw on material stored in areas such as Messages, Mail, and Photos when responding to requests, while Visual Intelligence allows users to ask about content currently displayed on their screen.

On iPhone, Siri mode is integrated directly into the Camera app. A user can point the camera at something and ask questions or perform supported actions based on what appears in front of them.

The assistant also gains a dedicated Siri app that synchronizes conversation history privately through iCloud. A conversation started on an iPhone can therefore be continued on an iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, or Apple Vision Pro.

Write with Siri expands the assistant into text creation and editing. Users can describe the material they need drafted or ask Siri to refine existing writing without moving to a separate application.

Apple Intelligence is also adding more specialized features outside Siri. Photos receives Spatial Reframing, Extend, and an updated Clean Up tool. Image Playground can generate images in a wider selection of styles, including photorealistic output, with metadata designed to identify AI-created material and planned support for the SynthID standard.

Safari can automatically organize tabs by topic and monitor webpages for changes, such as a product returning to stock or a price dropping. Apple is also introducing tools that can create custom extensions from a description.

iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 put more emphasis on speed

Some of the less visible changes could be among the most frequently experienced.

Apple says apps can launch up to 30% faster on iPhone and iPad after installing the new software. Photos can load an image up to 70% faster immediately after it is taken, while AirDrop transfers can be up to 80% faster.

iPadOS 27 receives additional work around file handling and multitasking. Apple says browsing files and transferring them to an external USB drive can be as much as five times faster, accompanied by smoother window closing, switching, and dragging.

Connectivity behavior has also been adjusted. Transitions between cellular connections and Wi-Fi are designed to happen more seamlessly, while Messages no longer needs to hold subsequent texts behind a large photo or video being uploaded over a slow connection.

Search across Spotlight, Photos, and Mail has been revised on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Mail gains a new ranking system for Top Hits, while Apple describes search across the three platforms as more stable and comprehensive.

Liquid Glass has received another round of refinements after becoming the common visual language across Apple’s software. A new Settings slider allows users to adjust the interface from an ultraclear appearance toward a more heavily tinted version, and app icons have been sharpened.

Screen Time and child safety controls get a substantial redesign

Apple has also expanded the controls available to families rather than limiting this software cycle to interface and AI work.

The setup process for child accounts now allows parents to specify which apps a child can access from the beginning, with additional apps added later if appropriate. Ask to Browse extends approval controls to Safari, letting parents require permission before a child opens a new website.

Communication Safety has been expanded beyond sexually explicit material to detect and intervene when gore or violent content appears in shared images and videos.

Screen Time presents average device usage and frequently used apps more prominently. Parents can establish daily time allowances across categories such as Entertainment, Games, and Social Media, while Schedules can change which apps remain available at different points during a weekday or weekend.

These changes are particularly notable because they work at the account and platform level rather than requiring parents to configure separate controls inside every individual app.

A smartphone shows a child texting their dad, asking to visit “cyberpetsgame.net,” with options to decline or approve the request. The game features cute animal icons, highlighting parental controls made even better with the latest Apple software updates.

watchOS 27, visionOS 27, and tvOS 27 add targeted upgrades

The smaller platforms receive their own additions rather than simply inheriting features from iPhone and Mac.

watchOS 27 introduces a dedicated Siri app, a dynamic app grid, expanded Smart Stack suggestions, and a new single-handed tap gesture for opening widgets. Workout Buddy can now operate without the paired iPhone nearby, while Cycle Tracking in Health adds support related to perimenopause and menopause.

visionOS 27 brings Siri AI and Visual Intelligence into Apple Vision Pro, where the assistant can respond to objects a user is physically looking at. Panoramas can be converted into spatial scenes and used as personal Environments, while Mac users can bring compatible 3D models into their physical space to preview and edit them.

Apple says Vision Pro can now start up and connect to Wi-Fi up to three times faster. New curved windows, Control Center changes, eye-controlled notification expansion, and improvements to Dwell Control further adjust the spatial interface.

tvOS 27 takes a narrower approach. Apple Music gains high-resolution lossless audio support, Apple Podcasts has been redesigned, and additional text-size accessibility options have been introduced. Apple TV 4K owners can install the release on supported second- and third-generation models.

Other changes stretch across device categories. iCloud Shared Albums can now retain full-resolution photos and videos while making participation easier from Android and Windows devices. AirPods gain custom EQ settings, Maps expands Flyover with AI-assisted aerial detail, and Missed-message notifications and unread counts now synchronize more quickly and reliably across Apple devices.

With the September 14 releases now public, the software cycle shifts from preview demonstrations to staggered feature delivery. Siri AI language expansion begins in October, while some Apple Intelligence capabilities and individual app features will continue arriving through later updates rather than being tied exclusively to the initial 27.0 releases.
