## Key points

- iOS 27.3 beta hints at chatbot support for HomeView.
- Two-way audio features appear to be in development.
- Repeated failed attempts could trigger longer lockouts.

## Summary

Code in the iOS 27.3 beta suggests Apple may add a “Conversational Apps” category to its HomeView smart home hub, potentially allowing users to access chatbots there. The discovery points to possible AI features, but Apple has not announced them and has not confirmed which apps might be included.

The beta also reportedly contains support for two-way audio routing and session management, though these features are not fully connected. It adds anti-spoofing measures: after three failed attempts, users would need to authenticate with an iPhone, while repeated lockouts bring longer waits, from one hour at the second lockout to eight hours at the fourth. No release date has been given.
