   Apple's Phone app adds AI Call Context in iOS 27 alongside Hold Assist and Call Screening

   9to5Mac rounds up the newer features in the iPhone Phone app: Hold Assist, added with iOS 26, detects when a caller is placed on hold and notifies the user when the other party returns, while Call Screening asks callers from unsaved numbers to explain who they are and why they are calling before the iPhone rings, with the answer shown on the Lock Screen. Both can be turned on in Settings, then Apps, then Phone. Coming with iOS 27, Call Context is an Apple Intelligence feature that surfaces relevant information, such as an airline confirmation code from Mail or a recent order number, on screen during calls to businesses. The report says Call Context requires iPhone 15 Pro or later and that iOS 27 is in developer and public beta testing, though the same article gives conflicting rollout timing, saying "next month" in one place and September in another.
