Apple is testing new features for its Siri assistant with popular apps -- including Uber, Facebook and YouTube -- that would make it possible to use third-party app features with voice commands, according to a report from Bloomberg. The testing is being done with the goal of releasing a revamped Siri in the spring of 2026 that uses Apple's App Intents to expand what Siri can do outside of Apple's own OS and first-party apps. For instance, people might be able to post Instagram comments or make

Apple Is Betting Everything on a Voice-Controlled AI Siri

Liquid Glass is a detour. This fall, consumer attention will be fixated on the digital viscous and reflective properties of the new, well, liquid and glass-like design language that Apple introduced at WWDC for its software platforms, including iOS, macOS, watchOS, etc. But behind the scenes, Apple is racing forward on what could actually move the needle for the tech giant’s future. Writing for his weekly Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Apple scoop machine, Mark Gurman, says Apple is working o

Apple is preparing a Siri upgrade that could make Gemini users really jealous

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-27 18:56:18

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Apple is reportedly preparing a major overhaul for Siri. The updated Siri is likely to be able to control a variety of third-party apps, performing very specific actions inside those apps. The update is expected to roll out in Spring next year with the iOS 26.4 update. Back in 2024, Apple promised a significant Siri upgrade that would understand voice commands better, have a more intuitive model running underneath, and be “deeply integrated” into the sys

Apple’s new Siri may allow users to operate apps just using voice

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-11-27 22:23:38

In Brief Apple in 2024 showed a swanky demo of what it said would be a new, intelligent Siri that would connect with different apps to fetch all kinds of information. But this new Siri has yet to see the light of day, as the company seemingly hasn’t been able to get it ready. However, Bloomberg now reports that Apple is testing a version of Siri that will be able to take actions on your behalf across various apps by following voice commands. The company plans to release a new version of App In

Apple working with these apps to prepare for next-gen Siri

Siri got lots of airtime at last year's WWDC – but not this year When Apple finishes developing the next generation of Siri, third-party apps will want to integrate with the new system. The App Intents system, which will connect apps with Siri and Apple Intelligence, adds to the amount of work developers are already doing to adopt Apple’s new design in iOS 26 and more. All app developers will likely have a brief window to prepare their apps for the new Siri before it launches to the public th

A Siri that does way more than just setting a timer or writing down a reminder may still be nearly a year away. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple plans to release an overhauled version of Siri in the spring, which will be enhanced by the new App Intents feature. Gurman reported that the upgraded Siri will handle more complex tasks within apps, like commenting on an Instagram post, adding an item to your cart in a shopping app or editing a specific photo and sending it afterwards.

Gurman: All-new App Intents feature and Siri overhaul on track to launch next spring

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is aiming to ship its brand new App Intents feature, allowing Siri to take actions for you, next Spring – alongside its long-promised Siri overhaul. These features were initially on track to launch during the iOS 18 release cycle, though Apple faced engineering delays. Now, they should launch by ~iOS 26.4, according to current reporting. Apple’s Siri delays sure have been disappointing, and Apple likely shouldn’t have announced the features without ha

Amazon has finally started rolling out Alexa+, its oft-delayed overhaul of the Alexa voice assistant built on large language model technology. However, Alexa+ shows how difficult it is to replace a mature voice assistant with generative AI, especially when users expect instant, consistent results for simple tasks. It’s a real reality check on the notion that Amazon has managed to release something Apple promised and hasn’t shipped. Alexa+, available as an limited preview on select Echo devices,

Google mocks Apple's Siri AI delays in new Pixel 10 ad

What just happened? If there's one thing that stays the same in the ever-changing tech world, it's companies mocking Apple in their ads. The latest comes from Google, which goes straight for Cupertino's throat in the new Pixel 10 ad. Google's ad for its upcoming Pixel 10 suggests that if you buy "a new phone because of a feature that's coming soon, but it's been coming soon for a full year," you might want to change your definition of soon or "just change your phone."

Apple exec says Siri will get ‘much bigger upgrade than we envisioned’

Apple’s Siri-related news hasn’t been great so far this year, but the company sounds confident it can turn things around. Here’s the Siri update that software head Craig Federighi reportedly shared in Apple’s all-hands meeting. Last week, Apple reported huge quarterly earnings. But concerns around the company’s AI efforts were still clearly on Wall Street’s minds.
