In 2024, Apple showcased a sleek demo of what it claimed would be a new, intelligent Siri capable of connecting with various apps to retrieve all kinds of information. However, this upgraded Siri has not yet been released, as the company appears to have struggled to finalize its development.
According to Bloomberg, Apple is now testing a version of Siri that can perform actions across different apps based on voice commands. The company plans to introduce a new version of App Intents, its framework that enables developers to grant users access to specific app functions through systems like search and Shortcuts.
If this new iteration of Siri and App Intents functions as intended, users could ask Siri to search for a photo, edit it, and send it to someone, post comments on a social app, or log in to a service. Apple is reportedly testing the feature with apps such as Uber, AllTrails, Threads, Temu, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, and WhatsApp.
Bloomberg previously reported that Apple aims to release a revamped version of Siri in spring 2026.
