Overview

• According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple plans to ship the App Intents feature alongside a comprehensive Siri infrastructure overhaul in spring 2026 as part of iOS 26.4.
• Testing is underway with major third-party apps including Uber, AllTrails, Threads, Temu, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook and WhatsApp to validate voice-driven in-app actions.
• Engineers are working to ensure the system supports a broad app ecosystem and achieves the accuracy needed for complex, high-stakes commands.
• Apple may restrict or disable App Intents support in sensitive categories like banking and health to prevent critical errors at launch.
• These voice-control enhancements are seen as essential for upcoming hardware such as Apple’s smart display and a future tabletop home robot.
