Apple to Add Undo and Redo Options to iPhone Home Screen in iOS 27, Report Says

Apple is reportedly planning to add "Undo" and "Redo" options to the iPhone's Home Screen customization menu in iOS 27. According to a report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, these new options would make it easier for users to reverse or redo changes made to their Home Screen layout and app arrangement.

The new "Undo" and "Redo" options would reportedly be added to the existing menu that appears when a user long-presses the Home Screen.

Currently, long-pressing the Home Screen brings up a menu with options like "Add Widget," "Customize," "Edit Wallpaper," and "Edit Pages." The reported change would integrate the new functionality directly into this familiar interface.

A Focus on Refinement and Stability

The iOS 27 update has been internally compared to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, an update historically praised for its focus on performance and reliability. This suggests the upcoming iOS version may prioritize bug fixes and stability improvements alongside new features.

Other reported features for the update include a dedicated Siri app and further advancements in Apple Intelligence, the company's suite of AI-powered features.

Expected Timeline

• Beta Testing: Reported to begin in June.
• Public Release: Expected in September, following Apple's typical annual schedule for major iOS updates.
