Overview

  • An upgraded App Intents framework now lets Siri perform precise, in-app actions using only voice commands in limited internal tests
  • Initial trials include popular third-party and Apple apps such as Uber, YouTube, Amazon, WhatsApp and Facebook
  • Apple plans a staged rollout with broader availability next spring alongside iOS 26 to ensure consistent performance
  • Banking, financial services, health and other high-risk categories are being omitted or restricted at launch to prevent critical errors
  • The initiative is a cornerstone of Apple Intelligence’s generative AI strategy to transform Siri into a true voice-first interface
