If you’re a user of the Writing Tools, you may notice they’ve changed in iOS 27. For me, the proofreading feature is one I use all the time, so let me show you how it works with Siri AI on iOS 27.

And before I do that, if you’re new around here, hi, I’m Jacob, your friendly Apple expert here on YouTube to help you make the most of your devices. Please do press subscribe if you want more Quick Tips in your feed.

So the proofreading tools work anywhere you type on iPhone or iPad, just like the Writing Tools used to, but accessing them now is slightly different. You can highlight the text you want to change, or you can just ask Siri directly, and it will use onscreen awareness to recognise what’s on the screen at the moment.

I only want to do this one paragraph, so I’m going to highlight it quickly. Now, on that floating toolbar, there’s a little Siri icon right at the end. Tapping on that brings a Siri text box onto your screen at the top, and underneath there’ll be the options to proofread or rewrite.

I can tap onto proofread, and it’s automatically going to fix some basic changes for me. I can, if I want to, go back and edit this manually. You can see it underlining the words I might want to change. Tapping onto each of these shows me the original word and the proposed change, and it will sometimes explain why it wants to make that change too. We can then approve these individually, or all at once, and the Siri proofreading tools have analysed my document for me.
