iOS 27.2 adds Excluded Apps setting to keep apps out of Siri
Start here
iOS 27.2 introduces an Excluded Apps setting that keeps selected apps away from Siri, Search and suggestions from a single list, replacing the multiple per-app switches users previously had to change. Excluded apps remain installed, but Siri can no longer read their data, act inside them, show them in Search or use them for suggestions, and onscreen awareness stops working in those apps. The setting is found under Settings → Siri → Excluded Apps and requires iOS 27.2 or later; all apps are included by default. Siri AI itself remains in beta, and Apple lists it for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 and later, iPhone Duo and iPhone Air; it is not available on iPhone in the EU or to users under 13.
