iOS 27<\/a> will include a custom wallpaper generator and an option to automatically create shortcuts using AI, reports Bloomberg<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\nWhen choosing a new wallpaper, users will have the option to generate something custom using the Image Playground<\/a> app. ‌Image Playground‌ is used for generating custom emoji and images that can be used throughout iOS, and it is set to get an upgrade in ‌iOS 27‌.<\/p>\n

Apple is testing models that produce more lifelike images, so the version of ‌Image Playground‌ that’s used for generating custom wallpapers could be different from the current version.<\/p>\n

Shortcuts is also getting a major update, with users able to use natural language to ask Siri<\/a> to make a shortcut. There is an option for users to tell ‌Siri‌ what they want to accomplish with a shortcut to have the workflow created using AI.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg<\/em> says the Shortcuts app has a prompt that says “What do you want your shortcut to do?” with a text field to enter a description. Shortcuts that are created using AI are then automatically installed and immediately available for use.<\/p>\n

Shortcut creation is largely done manually now, and it is a tool that has remained out of reach of many casual iPhone users. A Shortcuts app that’s able to work with natural language capabilities will see the app getting more widespread use.<\/p>\n

The new Shortcuts app and the wallpaper generation tool will be previewed at the WWDC keynote that’s set to take place on June 8.<\/p>\n
