Apple may add 'undo' and 'redo' to iPhone home screen in iOS 27

Apple is testing Undo and Redo buttons for Home Screen layout changes in iOS 27, alongside a dedicated Siri app and stability focus.

Washington, April 20

In a move aimed at refining everyday usability, Apple is reportedly testing two new Home Screen customisation features, 'Undo' and 'Redo', for its upcoming iOS 27 update.

According to MacRumours, the additions are expected to simplify the process of managing Home Screen layouts, allowing users to quickly reverse or reapply changes without manually reconfiguring icons and widgets.

"Right now, when you long-press on the home screen, you get a bubble in the top left corner with four options: Add Widget, Customize, Edit Wallpaper and Edit Pages," a source reported to MacRumours, adding, "Apple is looking at adding 'undo' and 'redo' buttons in that same menu to make reversing or redoing changes easier."

Alongside these changes, iOS 27 is also expected to bring broader enhancements, including a dedicated Siri app and further advancements in Apple Intelligence features.

Notably, the upcoming software update is being compared to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, which prioritised performance optimisations and stability over major visual overhauls.

This suggests iOS 27 could focus heavily on bug fixes and system reliability rather than sweeping design changes, according to MacRumours.

Apple is expected to begin beta testing iOS 27 in June, with a public release scheduled for September, in line with its typical annual software rollout cycle.

Undo/Redo is welcome, but honestly, I'm more excited about the focus on bug fixes and stability. My iPhone 14 heats up so much sometimes. If iOS 27 is like Snow Leopard, that's the real upgrade we need. Performance over new gimmicks any day.

iOS 27? We're still on 17! 😂 Feels like they're planning way too far ahead. But the feature itself sounds useful. Hope they also improve battery life with all these "optimizations" they're talking about.

As someone who customizes their home screen for different moods/festivals (Diwali theme, monsoon theme!), this will be a lifesaver. Trying out new layouts will be so much less stressful now. Great for creative users!

Respectfully, this feels like a very minor update being hyped up. "Undo" for the home screen? What's next, an undo button for turning the phone on and off? I wish they'd focus on more impactful features for the Indian market, like better regional language support or offline capabilities for Siri.

The dedicated Siri app could be interesting if it works well with Indian accents. Current Siri often misunderstands my commands. If they're focusing on reliability, I hope that includes making AI features actually work for us here.
