If you’ve ever spent 20 minutes arranging your home screen just right, only to accidentally bump an icon out of place, you already know the pain. Apple heard you.
With iOS 27, your iPhone is finally getting undo and redo buttons right inside the home screen customization menu.
It sounds small, but anyone who tinkers with widgets and app layouts regularly will probably wonder how they lived without it.
Here’s How It’s Supposed to Work
When you long-press your home screen today, a bubble pops up in the top-left corner giving you four options: Add Widget, Customize, Edit Wallpaper, and Edit Pages.
Apple is now reportedly testing two new additions to that same menu: undo and redo.
So if you drag a widget somewhere and immediately regret it, one tap brings you back. If you undo something and change your mind again, another tap restores it.
How far back the undo history goes hasn’t been confirmed yet, but even a handful of steps would make rapid home screen experimenting far less frustrating.
What Else Is Coming in iOS 27
Home screen tweaks aren’t the only thing on the list. Apple is also planning a new Liquid Glass slider, which will let you fine-tune that frosted aesthetic beyond the basic Clear and Tinted options currently available.
More granular control over how your interface looks is a welcome addition for anyone who cares about the visual side of their setup.
Beyond the new features, the bigger story with iOS 27 is what Apple is focusing on under the hood.

Performance, stability, and better battery life are the main priorities this cycle, which makes sense given how ambitious the past couple of releases have been.
A steadier, faster iPhone might not generate the same buzz as a flashy new feature, but it’s often what people actually want after years of updates.
WWDC26 kicks off in less than two months, so the full picture will come into focus soon. In the meantime, what’s the one iOS improvement you’ve been hoping Apple will finally address?
