According to a Bloomberg report, Apple’s AI-powered wallpaper generator in iOS 27 will leverage the Image Playground app. First introduced with iOS 18, the app allows users to create AI-generated images and custom emoji across supported Apple devices like iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Selecting a wallpaper will reportedly present users with an option to generate a completely custom background using AI. The tech giant is said to be testing upgraded image-generation models capable of producing more lifelike visuals compared to the current iteration of Image Playground.

The Shortcuts app is also expected to receive an overhaul in iOS 27. As per the report, users will be able to describe what they want a shortcut to accomplish using natural language.

Users can reportedly type commands or descriptions into a text field, after which the AI generates the required automation.

A separate section of the report claims that Apple is preparing a revamped AI chatbot-style version of Siri for iOS 27 and iPadOS 27.
