Apple Photos got a lot of new features in iOS 27 last month, but this week’s release of iOS 27.2 brought even more improvements. Here’s what’s new.

Shared Albums are among my favorite features in the Photos app. I don’t post on social media often, but I love using Shared Albums because they provide a social media-style experience in a private way that lives right inside Photos.

iOS 27 brought a variety of big improvements to Shared Albums. And now iOS 27.2 has introduced four more.

Per Apple’s release notes , here’s what’s new:

you can now edit captions for your photos and videos

comments can be edited too

there’s a feature to prevent adding duplicate photos to an album

the app can display a reminder before albums expire, so participants can save photos before they’re gone

To get these new features, you’ll need to make sure your Shared Albums have been upgraded for iOS 27.
