iOS 27 will be unveiled in just a few months, and reporting indicates it will add a brand new Siri app that I think could quickly become one of Apple’s most popular iPhone apps.
New Siri app for iPhone reportedly coming in iOS 27
This year, Siri is finally getting the major AI overhaul we’ve been waiting for.
A report last week from Bloomberg outlined Apple’s multi-layered approach to making Siri both more powerful and more present systemwide in iOS 27. It got me very excited for what Apple’s planning.
One change coming is a standalone Siri app on the iPhone’s Home Screen.
Mark Gurman writes at Bloomberg:
The app’s main interface will display prior conversations in either a list or a grid of rounded rectangles with text previews. Users can pin favorite chats, save older conversations, search across interactions and start new chats via a prominent plus button. The conversation view resembles a thread in Apple’s Messages app, with chat bubbles and a text entry field. It also includes a toggle for switching in and out of voice mode and an option to upload attachments — such as documents and photos — for analysis. These features have already become standard in modern chatbot interfaces. When starting a new conversation, Siri will offer suggested prompts based on prior usage. The interface adapts to light and dark modes, with a white background and dark text or the inverse.
This all sounds very much like what other AI chatbot apps offer, but with an interface that Apple users will feel right at home with.
And I think this Siri app could easily become one of the most popular iPhone apps for many iOS 27 users.
