Overview

• Apple is testing an upgraded App Intents framework that lets Siri perform precise, multi-step in-app tasks using only voice commands.
• Trials include select third-party apps such as Uber, Amazon, YouTube, WhatsApp, Threads, Temu and AllTrails alongside Apple’s own applications.
• To mitigate high-stakes errors, Apple plans to limit or disable Siri’s in-app control for sensitive categories like banking and health.
• Perfecting App Intents has become a top priority for Apple’s global data operations team after past reliability setbacks delayed the Siri overhaul and related hardware.
• The company targets a region-by-region rollout in spring 2026 with iOS 26.4, supported by a broader AI-focused marketing campaign.
