The upcoming iOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate updates expand drawing tools to more of Apple’s built-in apps across the iPhone and Mac.<\/p>\n

In the Messages app on iOS 27, there is a new “Drawing” option in the app drawer, which can be opened by tapping the plus sign in the bottom-left corner.<\/p>\n

On older iOS versions, the Messages app once had a very basic drawing tool that was accessible by tapping a button on the keyboard in landscape orientation, but now Apple’s complete set of Markup tools are available in the app.<\/p>\n

On the Mac, macOS 27 adds the Markup tools to the Notes and Freeform apps.<\/p>\n

iOS 27 and macOS 27 are currently available in developer beta. The updates are expected to be released to the general public in September.<\/p>\n
