During this week’s WWDC keynote, Apple addressed several privacy and responsibility questions involved in the development of Siri AI.
However, one aspect the company didn’t address was what happens when a conversation goes on for too long.
As spotted by Aaron Perris on X, iOS 27 includes code strings for a “Take a Break Message,” suggesting that Siri AI may display a break reminder after especially long conversations. The message also reminds the user that Siri is not a real person.
In iOS 27, if you use the new Siri for too long, you may receive a "take a break messsage"
